Ri Il Kyu, a high-ranking North Korean defector, claims that Kim Jong Un hopes for Donald Trump's re-election, viewing it as a 'once-in-a-thousand-year opportunity' for North Korea. Despite North Korea's official stance of indifference towards the U.S. election, Kyu insists this is a deception aimed at advancing negotiations over the country's nuclear weapons program. He highlights that Trump previously celebrated their relationship, stating they 'fell in love' through letters exchanged during his presidency. Kyu warns that any negotiations would be insincere, describing a potential deal to freeze North Korea's nuclear program as '100% deception' that would ultimately strengthen the regime. He also notes that North Korea's ties with Russia have improved amid the Ukraine conflict, which allows them to develop nuclear capabilities further without U.S. sanctions relief. Kyu's insights underscore the precarious nature of international relations involving North Korea and its strategic calculations regarding U.S. leadership.
