Will Trump Rekindle a Bromance With Kim Jong-un?

“During his 2024 election campaign, Donald Trump described the United States’ alliance with South Korea as a terrible bargain for his country, accusing the Asian ally of not paying enough ​for the 28,500 ​American troops ​stationed on its soil,” the New York Times reports.

“But when he mentioned Kim Jong-un, the leader of North Korea who has threatened to use nuclear weapons against the South, he talked as if Mr. Kim were a ​long-lost friend.”

Said Trump: “It’s nice to get along when somebody has a lot of nuclear weapons or otherwise. He’d like to see me back, too​. I think he misses me​, if you want to know the truth.”
