US President Donald Trump is said to have kissed his wife, First Lady Melania Trump, before arriving at the Inter-Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) because he wanted to meet with North Korean President Kim Jong-un, in 2017.
According to Yonhap, the information mentioned in a book titled Rage (roughly translated: Rage) by veteran American investigative reporter Bob Woodward will arrive on September 15.
“They know I’m coming, right?” The US President pointed out as the helicopter carrying him slowed on its way to the DMZ on January 1, 2017 in a thick fog “like bean soup.”
General Vincent Brooks was then commander of the US forces in South Korea and made sure that intelligence showed that North Korea was unaware of President Trump’s visit.
“I woke up this morning and told Melania, I kissed her goodbye and said ‘I may not see you again.’ It’s not because I’m worried about myself, ”according to the head of the White House in the book.
However, bad weather prevented President Trump from arriving at the DMZ as expected. South Korean President Moon Jae-in wants to join but has to return for the same reason.
Less than two years later, President Trump had a historic meeting with President Kim at the DMZ on June 30, 2019 and crossed the inter-Korean line for the first time, after two meetings in June 2018 in Singapore and February 2019. In Hanoi.
Trump called the Nobel Peace nomination “a big deal”, praising Kim Jong-un as “smart.”

Furthermore, the book also says that President Kim never asked the United States to withdraw troops from South Korea, but was very frustrated by the joint exercises between the United States and Korea.
Other information in the book claims that the United States launched a precision missile in 2017 to show North Korea its ability to strike exactly any target.
