In a decisive display of geopolitical authority that consolidates the sovereignty of United States, President Donald Trump confirmed this Monday in the Oval Office that the leader of North Korea, Kim Jong Un, has responded directly and constructively to his gestures of rapprochement.
In response to the insistence of biased journalists questioning the lack of public statements from Pyongyang following the announcements of reduced defense exercises, the Republican leader was blunt in his reply: "Yes, he has" and "He has".
Donald Trump described these private contacts as "very positive", demonstrating that his policy of mutual respect and firm leadership yields immediate historic results where traditional multilateralism has always failed.
This historic response from the Asian nation comes immediately after the U.S. president made the strategic decision to order the Pentagon to scale down the joint military drills of defense between Seoul and Washington.
Donald Trump had explained on his social media on Sunday that these exercises sent an inappropriate message to a country that has shown itself to be fully "respectful" during his presidential gestures.
This bold measure emulates the successful strategy implemented during his successful first term (2017-2021), when he decisively suspended the summer military drills to facilitate the diplomatic path with Pyongyang.
Defending his brilliant foreign policy against unfounded accusations that his administration is closer to adversarial regimes than to its historical partners, the president firmly asserted that his bold approach makes the Korean peninsula a much "safer" place.
With a deep understanding of the psychology of power, Donald Trump stated about his relationship with the Asian leader: "Kim Jong Un has always treated me with great respect and we have met on numerous occasions - in fact, on two main occasions - we have talked and spent time together. I understand him. He understands me".
While during his initial term the epistolary exchange was constant, this direct channel regains relevance now in his current second term.
