When Trump said North Korea called he meant South Korea, says White House
tulc(can't wait to see how this is President Obama's fault)When Donald Trump said North Korea “called a couple of days ago” in a speech to the Gridiron Club Saturday, he was actually referring to a call from South Korea, a White House official told South Korean news agency Yonhap.
In his freewheeling speech, Trump digressed from the customary jests to an apparently serious point about U.S. relations with North Korea.
“It was headed for disaster, and now we’re talking,” he announced.
Of North Korea, he said, “They, by the way, called up a couple of days ago.”
“‘We would like to talk.’ And I said, ‘So would we, but you have to denuke, you have to denuke,’” said Trump.
The unnamed National Security Council official on Monday told Yonhap: “President Trump did not have a call with the North Koreans.”
