Donald Trump has Pyongyang on his mind. In recent months, the U.S. president has made comments to the media suggesting he is in communication with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. In an August 17 Truth Social post, for instance, Trump announced that the United States would scale back joint military drills with South Korea. The decision, he wrote, was “based on my very good relationship with Kim Jong Un,” describing the dictator as “unthreatening and respectful.”
