NYT, Aug. 10

Mr. Trump revealed Friday that he had received a “very beautiful” three-page letter from Mr. Kim on Thursday. On Twitter Saturday, he revealed more details from the letter.

”He stated, very nicely, that he would like to meet and start negotiations as soon as the joint U.S./South Korea joint exercise are over,” Mr. Trump said, referring to Mr. Kim. “It was also a small apology for testing the short-range missiles, and that this testing would stop when the exercises end.”

“I look forward to seeing Kim Jong-un in the not too distant future!” he said. “A nuclear free North Korea will lead to one of the most successful countries in the world!”

Mr. Kim spent much of the letter “complaining about the ridiculous and expensive exercises” between the United States and South Korea, Mr. Trump wrote.




Kamala in June:




...and in May:

Sen. Kamala D. Harris on Sunday criticized President Trump’s relationship with North Korea and its leader, Kim Jong-un.

“We cannot put our arms and embrace this North Korean dictator in the way this president has done,” the California Democrat told CNN.

Tension between the U.S. and North Korea escalated this week as Pyongyang conducted a fresh round of missile tests and the Trump administration announced the seizure of a North Korean ship accused of smuggling coal and heavy machinery in defiance of international sanctions.

“This unilateral approach to foreign policy that includes embracing a dictator and taking his word over the American intelligence community is not smart and I believe is not in the best interest of our nation,” Ms. Harris said.
