JAKARTA - Former US diplomat Gordon Sondland exposed the original attitude of former US President Donald Trump who did not believe in North Korean leader Kim Jong-un. Trump is said to consider Kim as someone who would stab his stomach if he had the opportunity.
Sondland made this statement in his interview with Foreign Policy as reported by Yonhap, Saturday, May 25. The official, who was Trump's main envoy to the European Union in 2018-2020, said this was in stark contrast to Trump's repeated claims that he was a convict' with Kim.
"That he would stab my stomach if he had the chance," Trump was quoted as saying by Sondland when answering his question about Trump's views on Kim.
The answer, which Sondland called full of swearing, was judged to show Trump's distrust of the closed leader.
Whereas while campaigning earlier this year, Trump underlined his closeness to the closed leader and said America was "safe" at the time.
In a meeting with his supporters in 2018, Trump even said he and Kim "fall in love," whilemplying Kim wrote to him beautiful letters.

Based on his personal diplomacy towards North Korea, Trump held a face-to-face meeting with Kim during his tenure, including their first summit in Singapore in June 2018.
