President Donald Trump said he thinks North Korea's Kim Jong Un is a 'man of his word' after the despot warned the world that Pyongyang will soon have a 'new strategic weapon.'
The two leaders had signed an agreement on nuclear weapons in June 2018 at the culmination of a historic summit in Singapore.
They agreed to establish new relations between Washington and Pyongyang and to work towards denuclearizing the Korean peninsula. But critics at the time said Trump had gifted Kim a major diplomatic and propaganda gift by meeting him—raising the despot's international status—"He likes me, I like him, we get along. He's representing his country, I'm representing my country. We have to do what we have to do," Trump told reporters at Mar-a-Lago on Tuesday night, Bloomberg reported.
"But he did sign a contract. He did sign an agreement talking about denuclearization. And that was signed, number one sentence: Denuclearization. That was done in Singapore. And I think he's a man of his word. So we're gonna find out. But I think he's a man of his word.
