Trump Highlights Ties with Kim Jong Un Amid Nuclear Arsenal RemarksPreviousNext

US President Donald Trump praised his relationship with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, emphasizing the importance of maintaining good ties with leaders of nuclear-armed nations. Speaking at a rally in Ohio, Trump referenced "112 nuclear missiles" in relation to North Korea's arsenal, though he did not clarify the exact figure. He also highlighted his positive rapport with Chinese President Xi Jinping and distinguished North Korea's nuclear status from Iran's, which he vowed would not obtain nuclear weapons. Trump's remarks signal interest in reviving diplomacy with Kim amid ongoing security concerns.
