Will Trump try again with Kim Jong Un?
Donald Trump probably has enough on his hands: the riots in LA where he has sent National Guard troops much to the anger of the California governor; the war in Ukraine which is still raging despite his promise to bring it to a close; the war in Gaza where there is no end to death and destruction; the tariff war with China, Europe and everywhere; his tempestuous break-up with Elon Musk; the continuing friction and argument over his Big, Beautiful Bill, to name just a few issues. So what about North Korea and his old one-time friend Kim Jong Un? Has Trump made any moves to reignite the charm offensive he launched in his first term in office, or is that a dead end issue? If all else is failing, perhaps Trump will turn his attention to Kim Jong Un, if only because the North Korean dictator has cemented his ties with Vladimir Putin and the two are thick as thieves, with North Korean troops having fought alongside Russian soldiers in the Kursk region in western Russia against Ukrainian forces. Not much has been heard of them in recent weeks. We don't know if Trump has tried to rekindle his efforts with Kim Jong Un but if he had he would probably have made it public on his Truth Social platform. But it seems strange that Trump has not even mentioned North Korea. Perhaps when he saw North Korea sink its latest warship by mistake when launching it made Trump think Kim Jong Un doesn't pose a threat at the moment.
