The leader of North Korea, Kim Jong-un, turned to be an unexpected ally of the Republican presidential candidate, Donald Trump, since through North Korean state media he called him “wise politician” and “far-sighted candidate” who could help unify the Korean peninsula.

North Korean state media has praised Donald Trump, describing him as a “wise politician” and “far-sighted candidate” who could help unify the Korean peninsula.

An editorial in DPRK Today, which is an official media outlet, welcomed Trump’s proposal to hold direct talks with Kim Jong-un, saying he could help bring about Pyongyang’s “Yankee go home” policy and describing him as a “wise politician” and “far-sighted candidate”, as the Guardian reports.

“There are many positive aspects to Trump’s ‘inflammatory policies’,” wrote Han Yong-mook, who described himself as a Chinese North Korean scholar.

“Trump said he will not get involved in the war between the South and the North, isn’t this fortunate from North Korea’ perspective?”
