“(North Korean leader Kim Jong Un) is upset that I am not in the White House.”

US Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump once again emphasized on the 5th that he is close to North Korean State Affairs Commission Chairman Kim Jong-un. In an interview with game broadcaster Adin Ross on the same day, he said, “I got along very well with him.” This is interpreted as him once again expressing his confidence that he can resume summit diplomacy with North Korea if he wins the November presidential election. Trump also stated that he is close to Chairman Kim in his acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention on the 18th of last month and in his campaign speech in Grand Rapids, Michigan on the 20th.

During this interview, when Chairman Kim appeared in a corner evaluating the person in the presented photo, Trump talked about his “bromance” with Chairman Kim and the anecdote of the North Korea-US summit for over 7 minutes. He also criticized the foreign policy of the Joe Biden administration. “Our administration has concluded through careful analysis that he (Chairman Kim) has tremendous nuclear capabilities,” Trump said. “Some people said that he was probably not a leader, but he was an absolute leader. People around him always pay him respect.”

He also mentioned the conversation at the North American summit. Candidate Trump said, “He’s very smart and strong,” and “He’s between Russia and China on one side and Korea on the other side. (At the Singapore North American summit) I said, ‘You have great real estate. There’s a lot to be gained from it and you can build a very nice condo. ’”

In fact, it is known that candidate Trump proposed to Chairman Kim at the time a plan to build a large resort in Wonsan. It seems that he hinted at his intention to resume nuclear negotiations by proposing economic development such as attracting overseas investment to North Korea if he were to take office again. Candidate Trump said, “Chairman Kim doesn’t like Harris. He doesn’t know Harris and thinks Biden is very stupid,” adding, “At least this is something he and I agree on.”
