Donald Trump has touted North Korea's 'AWESOME' future if his 'friend' Kim Jong-un agrees to give up his nuclear arsenal.
US President Donald Trump touted North Korea's"AWESOME" future if his"friend" Kim Jong-un, whom he meets for a high-stakes dinner later Wednesday, agrees to give up his nuclear arsenal.
Vietnam is thriving like few places on earth. North Korea would be the same, and very quickly, if it would denuclearize. The potential is AWESOME, a great opportunity, like almost none other in history, for my friend Kim Jong Un.
That leaves Trump, who claimed after Singapore that North Korea is"no longer a nuclear threat," scrambling to get something concrete out of Kim in Hanoi - or face growing criticism that he is being played by the man about half his age. "He's never had a relationship with anybody from this country, and hasn't had lots of relationships anywhere," Trump said of Kim before leaving Washington.
