Trump calls Kim Jong Un a friend, concedes North Korea nuclear status

Original: Trump called Kim Jong Un a friend and acknowledged North Korea's nuclear capabilities

Donald Trump described North Korean leader Kim Jong Un as a friend and acknowledged that North Korea possesses nuclear capabilities, a shift in rhetoric from the US position of refusing to accept Pyongyang as a nuclear state. The comments drew attention given Trump's earlier diplomatic outreach to Kim during his presidency and renewed debate over how to handle North Korea's arsenal.

Why now: Trump's recognition of North Korea as a nuclear power challenges long-standing US policy and reignites debate over diplomacy with Pyongyang
