[Asia Economy Reporter Kiho Sung] U.S. President Donald Trump expressed a negative view of President-elect Joe Biden, saying, "I don't think he will do well with North Korea's Kim Jong-un."

On the 5th (local time), during a speech in Valdosta, Georgia, for a Senate election campaign, President Trump said, "Let's see how he (Biden) deals with North Korea's Kim Jong-un," adding, "I don't think he will do well."

President Trump made this criticism amid the situation where President-elect Biden has differentiated his approach to North Korea by accusing Trump of embracing 'dictators' and neglecting North Korea's nuclear and missile development.

President Trump then disparaged other foreign policies of President-elect Biden by mentioning the Paris Climate Agreement and the Iran nuclear deal, from which the U.S. withdrew during his term.

He specifically referred to former Secretary of State John Kerry, whom Biden appointed as climate change envoy, saying, "John Kerry, a great negotiator, the first thing they want to do is to reverse the Paris Climate Agreement," and claimed, "That will cost us a lot and is designed to destroy America."

President Trump also claimed, "The second thing they want to do is to give billions of dollars to Iran," arguing that President-elect Biden would provide money to Iran by re-entering the nuclear deal with Iran.
