Donald Trump published a photo in which he appears alongside Kim Jong Un, stating that they get along well

Donald Trump posted on Truth Social a photo from 2019 alongside Kim Jong Un, accompanied by the message "Despite the unfriendly expression in this photograph, there are many others in which we smile; Kim Jong Un and I get along GREAT!".

Former official Fred Fleitz predicted a possible Trump-Kim summit this fall, emphasizing that Trump will insist on the denuclearization of North Korea. Fleitz recommended that Trump also address the issue of weapons sent by North Korea to Russia for the war in Ukraine. Additionally, South Korean President Lee Jae Myung mentioned that Trump will focus on resolving the North Korean issue after reaching an agreement with Iran. This dynamic suggests a continuation of the complex relations between the U.S. and North Korea.
