"Yes, I will definitely meet with him. Kim Jong Un and I have a good relationship. He has 57 very powerful nuclear weapons. This should never have been allowed to happen, but he has those weapons now. I know him very well. If we have a smart president, things will go well for him. If the leader is foolish, nothing works.
