Trump boasts himself as ‘doing very well’ on North Korea

TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) - With North Korea – who knows? – but I think we’re doing very well," Trump said at a late Saturday rally in Topeka, Kansas.

He spoke of achievements of the past months, including the return of US hostages and the recovery of remains of soldiers who fell in the Korean War.

"We have a good relationship, and who knows what happens, but I think good things happen – no more missile testing, no more missile testing, no more nuclear testing," he predicted.

In a Saturday speech at the annual UN meeting, North Korean Foreign Minister Ri Yong Ho noted that “without any trust in the U.S. there will be no confidence in our national security and under such circumstances there is no way we will unilaterally disarm ourselves first.”

The US has been engaged in diplomacy with Pyongyang after a summit between Trump and North Korea’s leader Kim Jong-un in June, but with little progress.

Amid escalating tensions between Washington and Pyongyang, Trump recently, made an unexpected decision to meet with Kim.

The Trump-Kim summit mark the first such meeting between a sitting US president and a North Korean leader in history.
