Trump said North Korea will become an 'Economic Powerhouse' under the rule of Kim Jong Un.
"North Korea, under the leadership of Kim Jong Un, will become a great Economic Powerhouse. He may surprise some but he won’t surprise me, because I have gotten to know him & fully understand how capable he is. North Korea will become a different kind of Rocket - an Economic one!," he said.

The two leaders met for the first time in 2018.
2017 had ended on a bitter note with US President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong UN continuously attacking each other verbally but the mid of 2018 witnessed a picture of hope when the two finally met in Singapore.
June 12 became a significant date as Trump became the first sitting US president to meet with a North Korea leader.
Trump had appreciated the outcome of the summit as he considered it as his administration’s successful quest to achieve denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.
