Washington - President Donald Trump says North Korea’s decision to withhold its most advanced missiles from Sunday’s military parade is a “big and very positive statement” and he’s thanking leader Kim Jong Un.
North Korea devoted nearly half of a parade marking the 70th anniversary of its founding to civilian efforts to build its economy, underscoring Kim’s new strategy of focusing on economic development.
Trump and Kim met for the first time in June in Singapore and agreed to work toward denuclearizing the Korean Peninsula.
Kim recently said he’d like to achieve denuclearization while Trump is president.
Trump tweeted Sunday: “We will both prove everyone wrong! There is nothing like good dialogue from two people that like each other! Much better than before I took office.”
