President Donald Trump made the comments during his state visit to Japan.
President Donald Trump has come under fire for his dismissal of North Korea's most recent weapons tests, especially as his stance openly contradicted that of Japense Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, who is currently hosting the president during his state trip to Japan.
Washington Post columnist Charles Lane told Fox News host Bret Baier that people"are entitled to be confused though by the atmospherics that the president is putting out." “So if people aren't giving him credit for all the tough stuff he's doing from behind the scenes, he only has himself to blame,” the columnist concluded.
York added that the president’s agreement with Kim Jong Un “clearly…hasn't worked so far.” He did, however, note that no president had yet been successful with the North Korean issue. But for Marc Thiessen of the American Enterprise Institute, actions speak louder than words. “I'm less concerned with what Donald Trump says than what Donald Trump does,” he said, suggesting that the president’s “buttering up” of Kim is designed to “keep the possibility for a deal alive.”
