Original: Trump calls Kim Jong Un a ‘friend’ and plays down N Korea’s nuclear arsenal

Donald Trump has described North Korean leader Kim Jong Un as a 'friend' and downplayed the significance of North Korea's nuclear arsenal, comments made in the context of United Nations discussions. The remarks have drawn attention given longstanding US concerns over Pyongyang's weapons programme and the history of fluctuating relations between the two leaders.

Why now: Trump's friendly language toward Kim Jong Un contrasts with ongoing alarm over North Korea's nuclear weapons programme.
