WHEELING, West Virginia – President Trump told an enthusiastic crowd at a campaign rally that he was once a tough talk between him and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and we fell in love.
At the Saturday night rally, Trump said, "He wrote me beautiful letters and it's an excellent letter. We fell in love. "
He joked about the criticism he would receive from the media for making a comment that some would consider "non-presidential" and for his positive attitude towards the North Korean leader.
"Why did President Trump give up so much?" Said Trump in his "mock voice" tone. "I did not give up anything."
He noted that Kim is interested in a second meeting after their first meeting in Singapore in June was hailed by Trump as a big step towards the denuclearization of North Korea.
But negotiations on denuclearization have been blocked.
More than three months after the June summit in Singapore, top North Korean diplomat Ri Yong Ho told the UN General Assembly Saturday that the North does not see a "corresponding response" from the United States to first steps. of North Korean disarmament. Instead, he noted, the United States continues to implement sanctions to keep up the pressure.
Trump had a much more optimistic vision in his rallying speech.
"We are doing very well with North Korea," he said. "We were going to war with North Korea. Millions of people have been killed. We now have this beautiful relationship. "
He said his efforts to improve his relations with Kim had brought positive results – ending rocket trials, helping free hostages and recovering the remains of US soldiers returning home.
And he defended his unusual approach by talking about relationships with Kim.
"It's so easy to be presidential, but instead of having 10,000 people outside trying to get into this packed arena, we would have about 200 people there," Trump said. , showing the crowd directly in front of him.
