Trump Shares Throwback Photo with Kim Jong Un Amid Rising Korea Peninsula Tensions
US President Donald Trump shared a throwback photo with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, joking about their "unfriendly look" while stating they get along well. The post recalls their 2018 Singapore summit, the first meeting between sitting leaders of the US and North Korea. This comes amid North Korea's criticism of upcoming US-South Korea military exercises, which Pyongyang views as provocations and a growing nuclear alliance. Trump has expressed openness to renewed dialogue, though no new talks are planned.
