Gordon Chang: ‘Kim Jong Un Was Intimidated by Donald Trump’

EXCERPT:

CHANG: "I think that actually, Kim Jong Un, the North Korean ruler, was intimidated by Donald Trump. Remember at Mar-a-Lago a couple of Thursdays ago, Chinese President Xi Jinping was sitting next to Trump at dinner, and Trump told him that the U.S. had just launched tomahawk strikes on Syria, which was a Chinese friend. And from all accounts, Xi Jinping was stunned. I think that whatever confidence they had that they had figured Trump out was lost, and I believe, though I can’t prove this, that Xi Jinping went back and actually talked to the North Koreans to tell them not to do anything provocative until they have a better handle on Trump. So I think right now, the North Koreans, who have been so used to intimidating everybody else, creating a sense of tension, have now met their match in the American president."
