Trump: If I was wrong about Kim, ‘I’ll find some kind of an excuse’
President Trump said Tuesday that if he ends up being wrong about trusting North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, he may never admit it or will find “some kind of excuse.”
Trump told reporters that he trusts Kim and believes North Korea will implement the denuclearization policies the leaders agreed on during their historic summit.
“I may be wrong,” Trump said during a news conference after the meeting. “I may stand before you in six months and say, ‘Hey, I was wrong.’ ”
“I don’t know that I’ll ever admit that, but I’ll find some kind of an excuse,” Trump added with a smile.
