트럼프 "김정은 건강하다... 절대 과소평가 마라" 트윗

Just a day after more details of personal letters between the leaders of North Korea and the U.S. were disclosed,... U.S. President Donald Trump commented on Kim Jong-un's health.
He says the North Korean leader is in good health.
Kim Hyo-sun reports.
U.S. President Donald Trump took to Twitter on Thursday,... saying that North Korean leader Kim Jong-un is in "good health."
He wrote that one should not underestimate him.
Although he did not explain further,... it seems Trump is dismissing months-long speculation that Kim may have serious health problems.
The statement comes just a day after Bob Woodward disclosed parts of letters exchanged between the leaders of Washington and Pyeongyang that will be in his upcoming book "Rage."
According to USA Today,... the book also claims Trump expressed an intent to withdraw U.S. troops from South Korea.
Woodward wrote that President Trump ordered to "get them out,"... while he was talking to then-defense secretary James Mattis.
As for the health condition of the North's leader,... America's top diplomat declined to comment when he was asked Thursday during an interview with Fox News.
During the interview,... Secretary of State Mike Pompeo once again called for Pyeongyang to return to dialogue,... to bring about the regime's complete denuclearization and a bright future for its people.
Denuclearization talks between the two countries have stalled since February 2019,... when the two leaders held their second bilateral summit in Vietnam but walked away without reaching a deal.
Pompeo elaborated that his mandate continues to include full denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.
He also pointed out that the regime faces many challenges,... especially related to its economy and the spread of COVID-19.
Amid such difficulties,... Pompeo expressed hope that Washington can provide humanitarian assistance to help many suffering in the North.
