特朗普说,他“不晓得”金正恩神志是否健全,但指出在他父亲金正日2011年过世后,金正恩以27岁之龄接班,面对的是艰钜挑战。

特朗普在哥伦比亚广播公司(CBS)「面对全国」(Face the Nation)专访中说:“他(金正恩)对付的显然是非常难缠的人,特别是将军与其他人。他年纪轻轻就有能力掌权。”

特朗普表示:“我确定许多人企图夺权,无论是他叔父或其他任何人。因此,显而易见地,他是相当精明的家伙。”

特朗普另指出,在朝鲜最近的火箭发射失败后,金正恩最终将发展出更为强大的导弹,但是美国不能让朝鲜长年以来所做的事继续下去。

他在访问中不愿讨论动武的可能性,只说:“这是一场棋赛,我就是不想别人知道我的想法。”

在被问到朝鲜飞弹试射为何失败时,特朗普表示:“我宁愿不去讨论此事。或许那些飞弹不是很好。但最终,他(金正恩)会拥有精良的飞弹。如果发生这种事,我们不会容许。”

特朗普还主张,中国领导人正在帮助美国向朝鲜施压,而这样的合作比向中国的贸易施压更为重要。
