Trump says he intends to renew relations with North Korean leader

The American president noted that he considers it “a very big asset for everyone that I get along with him.”

US President Donald Trump has said he intends to continue maintaining relations with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un during his second term.

The head of the White House made this statement during a press conference with Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba, CNN writes . The American president noted that he considers “it a very big asset for everyone that I get along with him.”

“I can tell you that Japan likes the idea because their relationship with him is not very good. If I can improve the relationship not only with him but with other people around the world where there seem to be difficulties, I think that’s a huge benefit to the world, not just to the United States,” Trump added.

At the same time, the Japanese prime minister, answering a question about whether he wants Trump to resume contacts with the North Korean leader, said that this is something the United States must decide for itself.

Japan and the United States will work toward the “complete denuclearization” of North Korea, Ishiba said.
