United States President Donald Trump appeared to confirm Monday that North Korean leader Kim Jong Un is alive and said he wished him well after days of speculation about the dictator’s whereabouts.
When asked if he had any new information on Kim’s health, Trump said “yes, I have a very good idea, but I can’t talk about it now.” I only wish him the best.
“I hope it’s okay,” Trump continued, speaking at a White House press conference. “I know how he is doing, relatively speaking.”
Trump said the media “will probably hear in the not too distant future” about Kim.
The conjecture has grown from Kim’s notorious absence at the April 15 celebrations for the birthday of his grandfather Kim Il Sung, the founder of the North, the most important day in the country’s political calendar.

Kim has not made a public appearance since he chaired a Workers’ Party politbureau meeting on April 11, and the next day state media reported on him inspecting fighter jets in an air defense unit.
Amid media reports that he was ill and there was speculation that he might even have died, a top security adviser to South Korean President Moon Jae-in said Sunday that Kim was truly “alive and all right”.
