Former US President Donald Trump said to the North Korean leader, “Congratulations to Kim Jong Un!” The North Korean regime, which has starved its own people while spending billions of dollars threatening the world with nuclear weapons, has been rewarded with its election to the top role of WHO. At the annual meeting of WHO member states, which ended on May 30, North Korea’s Kim Jong Un, along with nine other countries, won a seat on the WHO executive committee.
The message from the former White House tenant whose platform was entrusted to Truth drew an avalanche of criticism. Republican opponents, many of whom are planning to run in the next presidential election in 2024, have attacked Trump. “How can you not congratulate a bandit who is threatening America and our allies,” observes Nikky Haley, the former governor of South Carolina. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, his most feared rival in the White House race, said he was “surprised” by the congratulatory message sent to the North Korean leader. “Kim Jong Un is a murderous dictator,” he said.
Even former vice president Mike Pence, who is expected to run for office next week (he was in this position while Trump was sitting in the oval office of the White House) criticized his ex-boss: “Nobody should praise the North Korean dictator or the North Korean dictator. The leader of Russia who initiated the Ukrainian aggression – Pence This is the moment when we need to make it clear that we are on the side of freedom and those who defend it”.
Trump continued his relationship with Kim Jong Un even when he was replaced by current President Joe Biden. The two leaders were the protagonists of two historic summits, one in Singapore in 2018 and the following year in an attempt to bring Pyongyang and Washington closer together in the demilitarized zone on the border between North and South Korea. “As we know, she had an obsession with this relationship,” New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman told CNN in February, citing a revelation in her upcoming book about Trump, “The Confidence Man.”
