Original: Trump downplays North Korea's nuclear weapons, says Kim is 'a friend'

Donald Trump has downplayed North Korea's nuclear weapons programme, describing leader Kim Jong Un as 'a friend'. The comments mark a notably softened tone toward Pyongyang, drawing attention given North Korea's ongoing weapons development and the history of on-off diplomacy between the two leaders. Observers are debating what the remarks signal for US policy toward the Korean peninsula.

Why now: Trump's friendly remarks about Kim Jong Un contrast with concerns over North Korea's nuclear arsenal, making them newsworthy and controversial.
