[Asia Economy Reporter Song Seung-seop] Former U.S. President Donald Trump claimed that North Korean Supreme Leader Kim Jong-un holds a hostile attitude toward the current Biden administration.

On the 30th (local time), in an interview with a U.S. conservative media outlet, former President Trump said, “I formed a very good relationship with Chairman Kim and there were no problems for four years,” emphasizing, “Our relationship was very strong and could have led to a negotiated agreement.” He added, “Now he is very hostile to the Biden administration and speaks harshly about it.”

This is interpreted as an attempt by former President Trump to highlight the two North Korea-U.S. summits he facilitated. Thanks to the personal relationship he built with Chairman Kim, he tried a ‘top-down’ approach. In contrast, the Biden administration emphasizes working-level negotiations.

Former President Trump also criticized the current administration’s immigration policy. He said, “When I was in office, the U.S. had the strongest border in history,” and accused, “Drug smuggling and human trafficking had almost disappeared, but now foreign prisoners, murderers, and drug addicts are entering.”

Regarding the armed conflict between Israel and Palestine, he stated, “About 10 to 12 years ago, the U.S. Congress protected Israel, but now the House of Representatives does not like Israel,” and evaluated, “No one has done more for Israel than I have.”
