U.S. President Donald Trump on Friday said that North Korean leader Kim Jong Un was “so happy” to see him during a brief meeting at Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) on the Korean Peninsula in late June.

The meeting paved the way for a resumption in diplomacy between Washingon and Pyongyang, even though North Korea’s public reaction to the talks has since been less sanguine than that of the United States.

“You don’t have a man testing nuclear anymore,” Trump said during a press conference at the White House.
