US President Donald Trump on Thursday threw more cold water on reports earlier this week that North Korean leader Kim Jong Un was gravely ill, but declined to say if he had been in touch with officials there.
“I think the report was incorrect,” Trump said at a daily White House briefing, adding that he had heard it was based on “old documents.”
“We have a good relationship with North Korea, I have a good relationship with Kim Jong Un and I hope he’s ok,” Trump added.
Daily NK, a Seoul-based website, reported late on Monday that Kim, who is believed to be about 36, was recovering after undergoing a cardiovascular procedure on April 12.
It cited one unnamed source in North Korea.
Two South Korean government officials rejected a subsequent
CNN report citing an unnamed U.S. official saying that the United States was “monitoring intelligence” that Kim was in grave danger after surgery.
On Tuesday, Trump, who held unprecedented summits with Kim in 2018 and 2019 in an attempt to persuade him to give up his nuclear weapons, said the reports had not been confirmed and he did not put much credence in them.
Kim is a third-generation hereditary leader who rules North Korea with an iron fist, coming to power after his father Kim Jong Il died in 2011 from a heart attack. (Reporting by Steve Holland; Writing by Alexandra Alper; Editing by Sandra Maler)

나는 생각한다Donald Trump로 언급되어야한다COVFEFE-45!!!
동생은 영원히 산다! Donald Trump이다buffoon누가 그의 나라를 조언합니다"inject disinfectants"치료법으로COVID-19!
There were various rumors that Kim Jong Un was dead. But North Korea's stateman said he was alive. This isn't the first time that the West media like CNN has killed him and he is alive. Get well soon.The man of words
Wait kin jung is alive and well? If it turns out they were right, will trump apologize? Can we see if the White House really knows Kim’s status?
We've never had a president kiss a Dictator ass before until Trump came to office. Trump talking about love letters with a dictator. Wtf are you kidding me smh. Kim never stopped shooting missiles towards our Allies. Trump was asked bout North Korea still shooting missiles towards our Allies. Trump said they are small missiles. Pathetic
Kim Hero
Stop using ridiculous verbs like "blast" a d "slam". That isn't what is happening here

I love trump ❤️
I remember as a kid thinking CNN stood for CartooN Network.
I think that idiot Trump would really miss him.
Back in 2018: Trump praised Kim at a campaign rally on Saturday, saying that he and the North Korean leader "fell in love."
"I was really being tough and so was he," Trump said. "And we would go back and forth. And then we fell in love. No really. He wrote me beautiful letters."
"They were great letters. And then we fell in love," he continued.
If CNN says he is gravely ill ,then there is definitely nothing wrong with him.!
Well he was right
TRUMP 2020
These headlines are getting out of hand.
Remember in 2016 when CNN announced that Trump had won the Presidental election, fake news eh?
This is the LIAR calling others…. liars??
🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Just stfu idiot…
Thats really strange. How could a president in USA have a good relationship with a guy who kills and starve his own population ???. Have America gone soft ???.
Most Americans Don't Trust credence in you Donald.
Bobby Lee would be a great pick to lead North Korea
Its funny how when trump has no idea about something its fake and then when he learns about it. He already knew cause he knows everything. Russia reported him dead April 21. Whats strange is his train arrived outside of Pyongyang on 22. His father had the same scenario.
His dad died on 17 December at 8:32 am of a massive heart attack while travelling by train to an area outside Pyongyang. Reportedly, he had received medical treatment for cardiac and cerebrovascular diseases.
Hehe..CNN.
WHY ALL THE DUMP TRUMP SUPPORTER CALLING CNN FSKEAKE NEWS DELETED ALL THEIR COMMENTS?? 😆 MUST BEEN DRANKING TOO MUCH BLEACH AND DISINFECTANTS.
