Original: (LEAD) Trump says N. Korea's Kim has 'pretty large' nuke capacity, will be 'fine' as long as he's 'around'
US President Donald Trump said North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has a 'pretty large' nuclear capability, but added that things will be 'fine' as long as he himself is 'around'. The remarks, reported by Yonhap News Agency, draw fresh attention to Trump's personal framing of deterrence on the Korean peninsula and his past dealings with the North Korean leader.
Why now: The US president is openly linking nuclear stability to his personal relationship with Kim, a striking statement about a live nuclear issue.
