President Trump said North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has 'kept his word' when it comes to nuclear and missile testing, contradicting his own national security adviser, John Bolton
Washington President Donald Trump said Tuesday that North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has"kept his word" when it comes to nuclear and missile testing, contradicting his own national security adviser, John Bolton, who just hours earlier had accused Pyongyang of failing to follow through on its commitments.
Speaking to reporters on the South Lawn of the White House, Trump said he had received a warm letter from Kim before again downplaying North Korea's latest test of a short-range ballistic missile -- a move Bolton and acting Secretary of Defense Patrick Shanahan have said violated UN resolutions. "He kept his word. There's no nuclear testing. There's no large, there's no long-range missiles going up. The only things he's set up were very short term, short range.

"I just received a beautiful letter from Kim Jong Un ... I appreciated the letter," the President said.
