Trump calls Kim Jong Un a 'friend', downplays North Korea nuclear arsenal
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 played down the threat posed by North Korea's nuclear arsenal, according to Al Jazeera. The remarks come despite Pyongyang's continued development of nuclear weapons and missiles, and are drawing attention to Trump's unusually warm stance toward Kim at a time of renewed concern over the North's weapons programme.
Why now: Trump's friendly language about Kim and dismissal of North Korea's nuclear capability challenge current US and allied security policy toward Pyongyang.
