Trump says Kim Jong Un ‘never respected’ Moon Jae-in, slams cost-sharing deal

"Kim Jong-un of North Korea ... never respected the current President of South Korea, Moon Jae-in"

Former U.S. President Donald Trump said on Friday that Kim Jong Un "never respected" South Korean President Moon Jae-in, an apparent response to a New York Times interview this week in which Moon criticized Trump for the failure of U.S.-DPRK diplomacy in 2019.

In a statement about the Koreas, Trump took credit for the absence of conflict on the peninsula and slammed Washington and Seoul for the status of military cost-sharing between the two countries.
