NSTworld: Before the collapse of that meeting, DonaldTrump had said that he and KimJongUn had an excellent relationship – and had even “fallen in love.”
The US president and Kim have held three meetings since June 2018 but negotiations over denuclearisation have been largely deadlocked since the breakup of a summit in Hanoi last February.
“As acknowledged by the world, it is true that the personal relations between and President Trump are not bad,” he said in a statement carried by the official KCNA news agency. But the senior official was sceptical about the US accepting these demands, saying: “We know well that the US is neither ready nor able to do so. We know... the way we should go and will go on our way.”
Saturday’s statement on KCNA came a day after South Korea’s presidential security adviser said Trump had asked Seoul to deliver his birthday message for Kim Jong Un. However, Kim Kye Gwan accused Washington of trying to manipulate any warm feelings between the pair for political gain.
