Trump Shares Throwback Photo With Kim Jong Un Amid North Korea's Criticism of US-South Korea Drills
US President Donald Trump shared a throwback photo with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, joking about their "unfriendly look" while affirming they "get along GREAT." The image dates from their 2018 Singapore summit, the first meeting between a sitting US president and a North Korean leader. This comes amid North Korea's criticism of upcoming US-South Korea military exercises, Ulchi Freedom Shield, scheduled from August 17 to 27, which Pyongyang views as provocative. North Korea warned it would respond to these drills and growing US-Japan-South Korea military cooperation with increased deterrence.
