U.S. President Donald Trump said on the 25th (local time) that he would "meet with Kim Jong Un, the Chairperson of North Korea, someday."

During a signing ceremony for an executive order at the White House that day, President Trump responded to reporters' questions, saying, "I look forward to (meeting with the Chairperson)," and added, "Many people will say, 'Oh, that's terrible,' but no, it's a good thing."

He stated, "I have a very good relationship with the Chairperson. We have had two meetings and got along very well, and I know him better than anyone except his sister."

He mentioned former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, saying, "If he had won (the 2016 presidential election), we would have experienced a nuclear war." He claimed, "Since I took office, there have only been many rocket launches, but no problems related to that."
