Donald Trump shares photo with Kim Jong Un, says they "get along wonderfully"

Former U.S. President Donald Trump reignited discussion about his past relationship with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un by posting a photograph of the two from a 2019 meeting. Trump shared the image on his Truth Social platform, accompanied by a message asserting a strong rapport between them.

"Despite the unfriendly expression in this photo, there are many others where we are smiling; Kim Jong Un and I get along WONDERFULLY!" Trump wrote. The photograph captures the leaders during one of their summits, which focused on North Korea's nuclear program.

The article also touches upon past speculation regarding a potential resumption of dialogue between Trump and Kim. Fred Fleitz, a former National Security Council chief of staff under Trump, had previously suggested a high probability of a Trump-Kim summit in the fall, emphasizing that any such meeting would still prioritize denuclearization.

Fleitz further recommended that a Trump administration should urge North Korea to cease supplying arms to Russia for its war in Ukraine, describing it as a reasonable request for Trump to make to Kim. Additionally, the article notes a prior statement from South Korean President Lee Jae Myung suggesting Trump would focus on North Korean issues after an Iran deal.
