United States President Donald Trump reacted to the news of Kim Jong-un’s public reappearance on Saturday after a three-week absence, saying he was pleased that the North Korean leader was apparently in good health. The Pyongyang leader had not appeared in public for three weeks, sparking intense rumors and speculation, including the fact that he was dead.
“For my part, I am glad that he has returned and is well!” Donald Trump wrote on Twitter, after the official broadcast of the North Korean press on Friday of images with the communist leader participating in a public event.
Kim Jong-un had not appeared in public since April 11, when he chaired a meeting of the Labor Party’s political bureau. Rumors of his health began to circulate after he was surprisingly absent from ceremonies on April 15, the most important holiday in North Korea, when the regime’s founder, Kim Ir Sen, his grandfather, was celebrated. The current leader.
A team of Chinese doctors who came to North Korea spread rumors that the North Korean leader had undergone heart surgery that did not go well or was, in fact, isolated, after several reportedly, people in his environment they got sick with Covid-19.
President Donald Trump said Monday that he “has an idea” of how Kim Jong-un is doing and expressed his hope that he will feel well, implying that the US intelligence services know something. “I can’t tell you exactly,” Trump said when asked about Kim Jong-un’s health at a White House press conference. “Yes, I know that very well, but I can’t talk about that right now. I only wish them well,” added the White House leader. The American President has suggested that the mystery will be solved soon. “I hope it is okay. I really know what it is like, relatively speaking. We’ll see, I will probably hear in the not too distant future,” Trump said.
Donald Trump and Kim Jong-un met face-to-face three times, the last time in June last year, when the White House chief was the first American president to set foot on North Korean soil. The two, along with the President of South Korea, met in the demilitarized zone on the border between the two Koreas.
Another meeting between Trump and Kim took place in February 2019, in Hanoi, and in 2018 their first truly historic summit took place, since it was the first time that the leaders of the two enemy countries, who do not have diplomatic relations and who they were threatened with nuclear weapons, they were face to face.
