According to this film, titled Trump takes over the world, The former US president took the opportunity “astonishing even the most experienced diplomats”, which Kim rejected.

“Matthew Pottinger, Asia’s adviser to the former Republican president, gave President Trump the flight back to Kim in one of the Air Force,” he told the BBC, which announced the weekend.

“The president knew that Kim Hanoi had arrived after a several-day train journey through China. The president said, ‘I can take you home in two hours if you want.’ Kim refused.”

North Korean official media have not yet named the new US president, Joe Biden.
