WASHINGTON (Sputnik) – Former US President Donald Trump on Wednesday condemned an article in US media as a “made up story” as it claimed the former commander-in-chief had softened his stance on North Korea’s nuclear program.
Earlier Wednesday, citing three individuals familiar with the matter, Politico published a report in which it alleged Trump was considering a bargain whereby the United States would allow North Korea to preserve but freeze its nuclear arsenal in exchange for sanctions relief, if he were to win at the presidential race in 2024.
In the same report, Trump’s campaign spokesperson denied the change of stance on North Korea and noted the sources did not know what they were speaking about, nor could they speak for Trump.
“A Fake News article in Politico, through anonymous sources (as usual!), states that my views on Nuclear Weapons in North Korea have softened. This is a made up story, DISINFORMATION, put out by Democrat Operatives in order to mislead and confuse,” Trump said via the Truth Social platform.
“The only thing accurate in the story is that I do get along well with Kim Jong Un!”

Kim’s fifth meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping continues his ambitious diplomatic outreach that has included summits with the leaders of the United States, South Korea and Russia in the past year and a half. Experts say Kim is attempting to form a united front with North Korea’s main ally China to strengthen his leverage in the stalled nuclear negotiations with the United States.  - Sputnik International, 1920, 13.06.2023

Trump’s North Korea Efforts Were ‘Sabotaged’ by Washington’s ‘Unpalatable Proposals & Naysaying’

In 2018, Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un signed a joint agreement to de-escalate relations between the United States and North Korea.

The two leaders met the following year in Hanoi to continue the negotiations but failed to reach a deal on the issue of US sanctions against North Korea. The relations between the two countries have since remained tense.
