What Trump said
The North Korean response came after Trump, in a recent election campaign speech, said he¡¯d like to take North Korean leader Kim Jong Un to a baseball game as he boasted about their friendship. Speaking at a rally in Michigan on Saturday, the former president said he ¡°got along¡± great with Kim when he was in office.
¡°It¡¯s a good thing to get along, not a bad thing. I used to tell him, ¡®Why don¡¯t you do something else?¡¯ All he wants to do is buy nuclear weapons and make them,¡± Trump said of the North Korean leader. ¡°I said, ¡®Just relax, chill.¡¯ He¡¯s got enough. He¡¯s got so many nuclear weapons.¡±

"He'd like to see me back, too. I think he misses me if you want to know the truth," Trump had said.

'We do not care'
Responding to Trump, the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA), on Tuesday, said: ¡°Even if any administration takes office in the US, the political climate, which is confused by the infighting of the two parties, does not change and, accordingly, we do not care about this."
