[아시아뉴스통신=레악카나 기자] U.S. President Donald Trump suggested Tuesday that North Korean leader Kim Jong-un had expected to go to war with the United States before the two engaged in nuclear diplomacy. Trump, speaking to radio show host Hugh Hewitt, was talking about China when he suddenly turned to Iran and North Korea and repeated the familiar claim that the U.S. would be at war with the North had he not been elected president."Millions of people would have died," he said.
"You would have had a war with North Korea. He expected to have a war." Trump did not say to whom he was referring, but he went on to say: "Where's the war? You don't have a war. We have a very good, you know, very different, but very good relationship."
Trump was asked whether Japan, South Korea and Taiwan should seek nuclear weapons or hypersonic missile capacity in the wake of China's growing ties with Iran. "Well, I'm not going to suggest anything, but I will tell you, it causes problems and it's a big point of discussion for us over the next two months," he answered, apparently referring to the U.S.-China talks.
