Seoul (South Korea), 22 September (LaPresse/AP) – North Korean leader Kim Jong Un said he still has fond memories of US President Donald Trump and urged Washington to withdraw its demand for North Korea to surrender its nuclear weapons as a precondition for resuming long-stalled diplomacy. ‘The world knows well what the US does after forcing other countries to give up their nuclear weapons,’ he said in his speech to the Supreme People's Assembly. ‘We will never give up our nuclear weapons, there will be no negotiations, either now or ever, to trade with hostile countries in exchange for the lifting of sanctions.’ Kim then added that he had ‘good personal memories’ of Trump from their previous meetings and that ‘there is no reason not to’ resume talks with the United States if Washington ‘abandons its delusional obsession with denuclearisation.’
