Trump defends Kim Jong Un, downplays a series of North Korean ballistic missile launches
President Donald Trump took to Twitter Friday to downplay a series of North Korean ballistic missile launches and defend its leader Kim Jong Un.
Kim "will do the right thing because he is far too smart not to, and he does not want to disappoint his friend, President Trump!" Trump tweeted. "Kim Jong Un and North Korea tested 3 short range missiles over the last number of days. These missiles tests are not a violation of our signed Singapore agreement, nor was there discussion of short range missiles when we shook hands," Trump wrote, adding that Kim "does not want to disappoint me with a violation of trust."
North Korea, the only nation to have tested nuclear weapons this century, spent most of Trump's first year in office perfecting its nuclear arsenal. The newest member of the world's exclusive nuclear weapons club has stopped testing of its nukes for now as the U.S. and international community offer the possibility of relief from crippling economic sanctions.
