North Korean leader Kim Jong Un received a "personal letter" from President Donald Trump, according to North Korean state news agency KCNA.

KCNA reported that Kim "said with satisfaction that the letter is of excellent content," after reading it.

"Kim Jong Un said that he would seriously contemplate the serious content" and appreciated the "extraordinary courage of President Trump," KCNA added.

The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

I have faith in Pres. Trump that he understands N. Korea and knows how to handle them in a win-win situation.

My mail carrier has been carelessly missing up some packages in my apt. bldg. so we get each oher's stuff sometimes.

What if Jong Un gets your donation request from President Trump and you get the letter offering the chance to okay world peace and to end the Korean conflict? Please say yes!

I just watched a dvd of Macarthur with Gregory Peck.

It makes you hate Truman and his missed chances to fight the Chinese and to end the “police action” and stalemate “conflict”. It hasn’t ended yet in 2019.

I’m convinced that Trump’s charm offensive toward Kim is designed to drive a wedge between Kim and the hardliners in the NK government. My suspicion is that Kim sees Trump as somewhat of a father figure, and Trump knows that and is attempting to exploit it. We all saw how Kim appeared to revere Trump in Singapore.

Kim was just a kid when he became “chairman”, had a taste of western life during his school years, and might just wish that he could experience that life again. I think Trump is keenly aware of this, and is also aware that every time Kim gets tempted to soften NK’s stance the hardliners intervene to talk him out of it (plus the likely influence of China to do the same). Trump is trying to turn him against the hardliners with visions of what could be.

Given the inability of previous presidents to make any headway, this approach is at least worth a shot.

North Korea is hurting so bad from Trumps squeeze, South Korea shipped 50 million tons of rice north.

Speak softly and carry a big stick.

Trump is sending a nice letter to NK, explaining things, but as you point out, we are squeezing NK, to encourage them to come to their senses, which will be better for everyone.

The amount is actually 50 thousand tons of rice. Read that article you linked. The population of North Korea is ~ 25 million. 50 million tons would be two tons per person. The actual amount is more like four pounds per person.
