President Donald Trump continues his rhetoric on North Korea, describing the country’s leader Kim Jong-un as a “pretty smart cookie”.
President Trump, who was speaking in an interview with CBS, noted that Mr Kim was dealing with very tough people, especially generals and others who might have tried to take power from him.
He also spoke about the United States’ response to North Korea’s missile tests, saying the U.S. should not be announcing all its moves.
Tension has increased in the peninsula lately, with both North Korea and South Korea conducting military exercises.
While the U.S. has sent warships to the region and begun installation of the THAAD defence system, North Korea asked the country to ponder over the catastrophic consequences to be entailed by its military provocation.
