Trump Wants Dictator Kim Jong-Un To Know ‘He Likes Him and Will Fulfill His Wishes’

According to a new report from Reuters, South Korea’s President Moon Jae-in told reporters that Donald Trump wants North Korean leader Kim Jong Un to know that “he likes him and will fulfill his wishes.”

Moon, who is hoping to host Kim soon on the first ever trip to Seoul by a North Korean leader, said Trump had asked him to pass on a message.

“The message is that President Trump has very favorable views toward Chairman Kim and he likes him,” Moon told reporters aboard a flight from Argentina 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 fulfill Chairman Kim’s wishes.”

Speaking from Air Force One late Saturday night, Trump said he expects to have another meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in January or February.

“I think we’re going to do one fairly — into January, February, I think,” Trump told reporters, according to a pool report. When asked about where the upcoming meeting would be, he responded, “We have actually talked about three sites. We haven’t determined the sites.”

Trump was also asked whether he would ever host Kim in the U.S., to which he said, “At some point, yeah.”

Trump has been openly friendly to the North Korean dictator, even one claiming that he was “in love” with Kim.

Back in September during one of his many “Make America Great Again” rallies, Trump spoke about his evolving relationship with Kim.

“I was really being tough and so was he,” he said. “And we would go back and forth. And then we fell in love. No really. He wrote me beautiful letters.”
