President Trump on Tuesday wished North Korean leader Kim Jong Un well during the White House’s coronavirus press instruction after being inquired about the totalitarian’s reportedly degrading health.
Fox News’ Bret Baier asked about Kim’s medical status after it has been reported that the rogue nation’s leader went through a cardiovascular treatment on April 12.
” Well, these are reports that came out, and we don’t understand. We do not understand,” Trump stated. “I have actually had a great relationship with him. I would not– You understand, I can only say this– I want him well. Due to the fact that if he remains in the kind of condition that the reports state … that’s a really serious condition.
” However I wish him well,” he continued. “We have actually had a good relationship. I have actually said it. I have actually said it lot of times. If somebody else were in this position, we would have been, right now, at war with North Korea. And we’re not at war. And we’re nowhere close to war with North Korea.”

Trump added: ” I just need to say to Kim Jong Un, I want him extremely all the best. All the best. They brought out [a] very, really severe medical report. Nobody’s confirmed that. It was CNN that came out– so when CNN brings out a report, I don’t put too much credence in it.”
The Daily NK — an online news periodical based in Seoul and published in Korean, which is run mostly by North Korean defectors– reported that Kim, 36, is said to be recuperating from the surgical treatment at a regional villa. The report also stated Kim has actually remained in bad health due to “heavy smoking, obesity and overwork,” according to an equated variation of the Daily NK’s report, citing an unnamed source.
The South Korean government stated Tuesday that Kim seemed continuing with company as typical.
