Former President Donald Trump has defended Kim Jong Un after a series of recent missile launches, saying the North Korean dictator felt "threatened" by planned military exercises by the US and its South Korean allies.
In a post on his Truth Social page, Trump claimed that during his term in the White House he had formed a close relationship with Kim.
"Kim Jung [sic] Un of North Korea, who I got to know and got along with very well during my years as President, is not happy with the U.S. and South Korea doing big training and air exercises together," Trump wrote. "He feels threatened." He went on to complain that South Korea "pays us very little to do these extremely expensive and provocative drills. It's really ridiculous."
