Trump bragged about his relationship with Kim Jong-un

“I have a great relationship with Kim Jong-un and we'll see what happens, but certainly he's a nuclear power,” he said.

He referred to the nuclear arsenals of Russia and China, saying, “It would be a great achievement if we could reduce their numbers. We have so many weapons and the power is so great,” Reuters reported.

“First of all, it's not needed in that volume. And then we'll have to bring in others because, as you know, to a lesser extent - Kim Jong-un has a lot of nuclear weapons, a lot of them, and so do others. You've got India, you've got Pakistan, you've got other countries that have them, and we're bringing them in,” he said.

A White House spokesperson, commenting on Trump's DPRK policy, said, “President Trump will continue the policy of complete denuclearization of North Korea during his presidency.”
