US governor raises eyebrows with claim she met North Korean leader Kim Jong Un

Upcoming book by Kristi Noem will be edited to remove false claim amid questions about whether she confused two Koreas

An upcoming book by conservative American governor Kristi Noem will be amended to remove a reference to her alleged meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, the book’s publisher announced Sunday, after her claim that she stood up to the “little tyrant” raised eyebrows.

“At the request of Governor Noem, we are removing a passage regarding Kim Jong Un from her book ‘No Going Back,’ upon reprint of the print editions and as soon as technically possible on the audio and ebook editions,” a statement posted on Center Street publisher’s official Instagram reads.
