US President Donald Trump heaped praise on Kim Jong-un in an interview with Fox News and defended this week’s summit with the North Korean leader.
Mr Trump told Fox News host Sean Hannity, that Mr Kim was “sharp as you can be” and “a real leader” and insisted that that he gets along “really well” with the North Korean leader, who he described as “a pretty mercurial guy”.
Trump’s second summit this week in Vietnam with Mr Kim ended without agreement.
Earlier Trump came under fire for praising the North Korean leader. Trump was criticised by both Republicans and Democrats for defending Kim over the death of US college student Otto Warmbier.
Mr Trump also told Fox News he wanted North Korea to “de-nuke” entirely, but Mr Kim only wanted to “de-nuke certain areas”, which was understandable.
