On Saturday, Donald Trump said he offered the North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un an invite to the New York Yankees game during his meetings with him. This was a response to the media who found his relationship with Kim Jong-Un a bit concerning for the United States.
The former President didn't see it as a thing to be concerned about, instead, he stated that it's a good thing to get along with different people. Moreover, he even boasted about their friendship and how he presented an alternative to buying nuclear weapons to the North Korean dictator.
"I got along with [Kim Jon-Un] great. You were never in danger with me as your president. It's a good thing to get along, not a bad thing. I used to tell him, why don't you do something else? All he wants to do is buy nuclear weapons and make them. I said, just relax, chill. You got enough," Trump said.
During his time as the President, Donald Trump used to set meetings with Jong-Une, and in 2019, he also became the first US President ever to visit North Korea.
"You got, you got so much nuclear weapons, so much. I said, just relax. Go to a nice, let's go to a baseball game. I'll show you what a baseball. We'll go watch the Yankees or we'll come watch Michigan at its home opener," he stated.
