“As far as North Korea is concerned, we are in very good shape, ” Trump says.
President Donald Trump called North Korea and its leader a “menace” on Thursday.
“As far as North Korea is concerned, we are in very good shape, ” Trump told reporters during a joint news conference alongside Italian Prime Minister Paolo Gentiloni. “We’ re building our military rapidly. A lot of things have happened over the last short period of time. I’ ve been here for approximately 91 days. We’ re doing a lot of work. We’ re in a very good position.”
But the president wouldn’ t say whether he feels North Korean leader Kim Jong Un is mentally unstable and, therefore, unable to be reasoned with.
“I can’ t answer your question on stability, ” he said in response to the question. “I hope the answer is a positive one, not a negative one, but hopefully that will be something that gets taken care of.
