It is well known that the relationship between US President Donald Trump and North Korean Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un is not a special one. Trump mocked Kim as 'Little Rocket Man'. On the other hand, Kim has been seen taunting the US president as a 'crazy old man'. Although that was many years ago, Kim has also been seen in a 'Ranong Dehi' mood against the US. Kim has been seen firing missiles twice in a week ahead of US-South Korean military exercises. But in this situation, Trump's tone is soft. He has been heard to say that he has a good relationship with Kim! And that's why he said to reduce his range before the start of military confrontation with South Korea!
Trump wrote on his own social media 'Truth Social', 'Because of my very good relationship with North Korea's Kim Jong Un, I do not find America's prolonged participation in joint military exercises with South Korea satisfactory.' He also claimed, 'These exercises are not only expensive, a large part of which (as always) America has to bear—but they send a completely inappropriate and hostile message to a country that has not posed a threat during Donald Trump's presidency. And always behaved respectfully.” Many people were surprised by Trump's comments. The insiders are puzzled as to why Trump is suddenly showing such a 'soft' attitude towards Kim.
Meanwhile, North Korea is not paying much attention to Trump's actions. “North Korea must have seen Trump's comments as meaningful if the U.S. canceled the military drills,” said Lim-Yul-chul, a Kim expert. “I doubt Kim would have any immediate reaction.”
