South Korean President: Trump’s ‘Very Strong Speech’ Will ‘Help Contain North Korea’

‘Mr. President, in the U.N. general assembly you made a very strong speech and I believe that the strength of your speech will also help contain North Korea’

JAE-IN (via translator): “Mr. President, I have mentioned several times and I also have had many telephone conversations with you and because of this I am becoming more and more familiar with you. Over the years, North Korea has continued to make provocations and this is extremely deplorable and this has — this has angered both me and our people. But the United States has responded firmly and in a very good way. And the President and I also believe that we have very close coordination between Korea and the United States and because of this I am very satisfied. Mr. President, in the U.N. General Assembly you made a very strong speech and I believe that the strength of your speech will also help to change North Korea. Thank you very much.”
