Russia to help with N Korea: Trump
President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that Russia would help with North Korea and offered an enthusiastic update on the US process of negotiating with the antagonistic Asian nation over nuclear weapons.
"Russia has agreed to help with North Korea, where relationships with us are very good and the process is moving along," said Trump on Twitter. "There is no rush, the sanctions remain! Big benefits and exciting future for North Korea at end of process!"
Earlier in yesterday Trump said, he got on well with Russian President Vladimir Putin at their summit in Finland and "big results will come".
"So many people at the higher ends of intelligence loved my press conference performance in Helsinki. Putin and I discussed many important subjects at our earlier meeting. We got along well which truly bothered many haters who wanted to see a boxing match. Big results will come!" he said on Twitter.
"While the NATO meeting in Brussels was an acknowledged triumph, with billions of dollars more being put up by member countries at a faster pace, the meeting with Russia may prove to be, in the long run, an even greater success. Many positive things will come out of that meeting," he tweeted.
Trump sought on Tuesday to calm the storm over what critics said was his failure to hold Putin accountable for what US intelligence agencies said was meddling in the 2016 US election, saying he misspoke in the joint news conference in Helsinki.
Trump on Monday shied away from criticizing the Russian leader for Moscow's actions to undermine the election and cast doubt on US intelligence agencies.
