President Trump’s attorney Rudy Giuliani said Wednesday that North Korea’s Kim Jong Un got “on his hands and knees and begged” American diplomats to reinstate a planned meeting with Trump after it was cancelled last month.
The former New York City mayor told The Wall Street Journal that Trump’s cancellation of the meeting, which is now back on for the planned date of June 12, forced the North Korean leader into a favorable position.
“They also said they were going to go to nuclear war with us, they were going to defeat us in a nuclear war,” Giuliani told the newspaper. “We said we’re not going to have a summit under those circumstances.”
