In big shift, Trump assesses Kim Jong Un as ’very honourable’

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump on Tuesday said Kim Jong Un wants a historic, high-stakes meeting as soon as possible and suggested the North Korean dictator has been “very open” and “very honourable,” a sharply different assessment of a leader he once denounced as “Little Rocket Man.”
The United States and North Korea have been negotiating a summit between Trump and Kim to be held in May or June to broker a deal on Pyongyang’s nuclear program.
