President Donald Trump on May 26 said he was not disturbed by recent missile launches by North Korea and was confident that the country’s leader, Kim Jong Un, would keep his promises.
“North Korea fired off some small weapons, which disturbed some of my people, and others, but not me. I have confidence that Chairman Kim will keep his promise to me,” Trump wrote on Twitter.
The president made the comments during state visits to Japan, a key ally in the effort to denuclearize North Korea.
Last year in Singapore, Trump became the first sitting American president to meet with a leader of North Korea’s communist regime. At the summit, North Korea agreed to peaceful relations with the United States and South Korea, committed to completely denuclearize, and promised to repatriate the remains of American troops.
In February this year, Trump cut short a second summit with Kim in Vietnam after the two leaders could not agree on the terms of a deal.
