South Korean president says US leader gave message to pass on during G20 summit in Argentina
Donald Trump wants North Korean leader Kim Jong-un to know he likes him and will fulfil his wishes, South Korean president Moon Jae-in said on Sunday, a day after meeting the US president at the G20 summit in Argentina.
Moon, who is hoping to host Kim on the first ever trip to Seoul by a North Korean leader, as agreed earlier this year, said Trump had asked him to pass on a message.
“The message is that President Trump has very favourable views toward Chairman Kim and he likes him,” Moon told reporters on a flight to New Zealand, where he started a three-day state visit on Sunday.
“As such, he asked me to tell Chairman Kim that he wants to implement the rest of their agreement together and he will fulfil Chairman Kim’s wishes.
