Donald Trump claimed at the G7 summit in Biarritz that his wife Melania knew North Korea's ruler Kim "extremely good". The two never met.



The White House has made it clear that there has never been a meeting between First Lady Melania Trump and North Korea's ruler Kim Jong Un.

US President Donald Trump said at the conclusion of the G7 summit in Biarritz that he himself knew Kim "extremely well," and then added, "The First Lady met Kim Jong Un and I think she would agree that he is a man with a country that has enormous potential. "

Now, in the White House message, Trump trusts in many issues of his wife. "And even if the First Lady did not meet him [Kim], the President feels like she has met him too," White House Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham wrote.

Trump had "not happy" in Biarritz on North Korea's latest missile tests, but downplayed their importance. He is confident that Kim "will do the right thing in the end," said Trump confidently. Kim understands that his country has great economic potential.

However, three meetings between the US president and Kim had not brought any progress in the targeted nuclear disarmament of the isolated country.
