President Trump expresses confidence in North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, following reports that say the country is testing out new missiles.
People watch a TV showing a file footage of North Korea’s missile launch during a news program at the Seoul Railway Station in Seoul, South Korea, Saturday, May 4, 2019. North Korea on Saturday fired several unidentified short-range projectiles into the sea off its eastern coast, the South Korean Joint Chiefs of Staff said, a likely sign of Pyongyang’s growing frustration at stalled diplomatic talks with Washington meant to provide coveted sanctions relief in return for nuclear disarmament.

In a tweet Saturday morning, the president said anything is possible, and he believes Kim realizes North Korea’s economic potential, and will not do anything to interfere with that.
President Trump also said the chairman doesn’t want to break his promise to him, and that a deal will happen.
Anything in this very interesting world is possible, but I believe that Kim Jong Un fully realizes the great economic potential of North Korea, & will do nothing to interfere or end it. He also knows that I am with him & does not want to break his promise to me. Deal will happen!

His remarks come amid reports of North Korea testing more nuclear missiles from its east coast Saturday, despite previously agreeing to stop its nuclear ambitions.
However, the U.S. said it will keep a close eye on the Asian nation.
