Trump's appeasement of dictators fails again as North Korea delivers sharp rebuke of Trump's latest comments
https://www.scmp.com/week-asia/politics/article/3271678/north-korea-rejects-trumps-overtures-shrugs-us-election-outcome-we-do-not-care
On Tuesday North Korea snubbed Donald Trump once again by brushing off a suggestion by the former president that he would improve relations with the country if elected president in November.
Trump told the Republican National Convention he got along with Kim, and that the North Korean leader probably wanted him back in the White House. “I think he misses me, if you want to know the truth,” Trump said.
An anonymous commentary in the North Korean Central News Agency, or NKCNA, a state-controlled media organization whose content reflects official thinking, indicated that no matter who was elected in the U.S. presidential elections, relations between the two are unlikely to be warm.
“No matter what administration takes office in the U.S., the political climate, which is confused by the infighting of the two parties, does not change and, accordingly, we do not care about this,” said the commentary in NKCNA.
North Korea is a small, economically weak regime. But it has a nuclear weapons program and spends roughly 16 percent of total government expenditure on defense, making it a thorn in the side of American foreign policy officials.
Donald Trump has always had a complicated relationship with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un. Sometimes bromance, sometimes bitter rivalry, the two have long traded barbs.
