Donald Trump described North Korea leader Kim Jong Un in two words as he took a swipe at Barack Obama and Joe Biden. The new US president described Mr Kim as a “smart guy” during an interview with Sean Hannity on Fox News on Thursday (23 January). Trump said: “He’s not a religious zealot. He happens to be a smart guy. Kim Jong Un is a smart guy.” The new US president has repeatedly boasted about having good relations with the North Korean leader even as ties between Washington and Pyongyang deteriorated under Joe Biden’s administration.
