Trump appeared at the Commander in Chief Ball and talked by satellite to a small group of American service men who were stationed in South Korea.
He began by enquiring about the leader of North Korea, an adversary of the United States and its partner, South Korea.
“How’s Kim Jong Un doing?” Trump enquired, describing Kim as someone with “bad intentions” and a “tough cookie,” but he also stated that he had a good connection with the secretive ruler.
Trump controversially met with Kim during his first term and has frequently praised him, despite his nuclear goals and tensions with the United States and its regional allies.
