Trump calls Kim Jong Un 'a friend', downplays North Korea's nuclear arsenal
Original: Trump downplays North Korea's nuclear weapons, says Kim is 'a friend'
Donald Trump has downplayed the threat of North Korea's nuclear weapons and described leader Kim Jong Un as 'a friend'. The remarks, carried by Reuters and syndicated across Yahoo outlets, are drawing attention for their warm tone toward Pyongyang despite North Korea's continued weapons programmes and ongoing tensions over its missile tests.
Why now: Trump's friendly characterisation of Kim and dismissal of North Korea's nuclear threat are contentious given Pyongyang's active weapons programme.
