“They were great letters. And then we fell in love.”

Trump praised Kim at the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday, saying that he was proud of his courage.

“I would like to thank Chairman Kim for his courage and for the steps he has taken, though much work remains to be done,” he said.

A second Trump-Kim summit seems to be in the works, as Secretary of State Mike Pompeo accepted an invitation to visit Pyongyang to begin planning.
