00:00Mr. President, you have built a relationship with Russian leaders and also North Korean leaders.

00:04As they are getting closer, how would that affect your diplomatic approach?

00:09Well, I have very good relationships with Kim Jong-un, North Korea.

00:13I mean, a lot of people would say, oh, that's terrible. No, it's good.

00:16In fact, someday I'll see him. I look forward to seeing him.

00:19He was very good with me. We had two meetings. We had two summits.

00:22We got along great. I know him better than you do.

00:24I know him better than anybody, almost, other than his sister.

00:27His sister knows him pretty well.

00:30Now, I know him well, and I got along with him.

00:33You know, I'm not supposed to say I really like him a lot, because if I do that, I get killed in the fake news media.

00:39But I got along with him very well, and we had no problem.

00:42If, at the time, Hillary Clinton won the election, you would have had a nuclear war.

00:47You would have had a nuclear war. We're not going to have a nuclear war.

00:51Once that happens, it's over. We're not going to have a nuclear war.

00:54No, but Kim Jong-un will meet at some point. I look forward to it, actually.

00:59But do you notice that since I came into office, you haven't had a problem with him?

01:04Hasn't been, you know, he tests lots of rockets.

01:07He does have great capability, I will say that.

01:10But I think a lot of good things, a lot of good things are happening for our country, a lot of really good things.
