Kim Jong Un showed the headless body of his executed uncle to senior North Korean officials, according to US President Donald Trump.
Jang Song Thaek, the North Korean leader’s uncle and an enormously powerful figure within the regime, was assassinated in 2013 for committing ‘treason’ and corruption in 2013. “Kim tells me everything. He told me everything,” Trump told journalist Bob from the Washington Post. Woodward, according to his forthcoming book “Rage.”
“He killed his uncle and put the body on the steps,” Trump said, in an apparent reference to a building used by senior officials.
“And they cut off his head, sitting on his chest,” he added in excerpts from the book seen by AFP. Trump’s account of Jang’s death shows the close nature of his relationship with the North Korean dictator, even though the hermit nation has never admitted how he was assassinated.
Nuclear negotiations between Pyongyang and Washington have stalled since the collapse of the Hanoi summit last year when Trump and Kim failed to reach an agreement. Pyongyang officials said they had offered to “dismantle all nuclear production facilities in the Yongbyon area,” but according to the book, Trump demanded that five sites be abandoned.
“Listen, one doesn’t help and two don’t help and three don’t help and four don’t help. Five does help, ”Trump reportedly told Kim according to the book.
Yongbyon was the largest site in the North, Kim replied. “It’s also the oldest,” Trump replied. However, Kim offered no further concessions and Trump told him: “You are not ready to make a deal.”
“I have to go,” he added, to Kim’s surprise. I am really very offended.
