Trump congratulates Kim Jong Un on managing coronavirus in North Korea

US President Donald Trump has written to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un offering help to fight the coronavirus pandemic.

Details of the letter came from the North Korean leadership, which welcomed it as a sign of "the special and very firm personal relations" between Mr Kim and Mr Trump.

The letter reportedly contained praise for Mr Kim's efforts to defend his people from the disease, which has killed thousands of people around the world.

The secretive nation claims it has been spared from the outbreak that originated in neighbouring China, but some observers have questioned whether that can be true.

Mr Trump "expressed his intent to render cooperation in the anti-epidemic work, saying that he was impressed by the efforts made by the chairman to defend his people from the serious threat of the epidemic", according to North Korean state news agency KCNA.

And he's worried about helping them? They probably have a better idea what to do in a Pandemic, then he does. Trump still kissing Kim's butt, hoping for a Nobel Prize.

He would have loved Castro, Stalin, Franco, Mussolini, Mao, Amin and the granddaddy of them all, Trump’s #1 idol, Adolf.

Left or right wouldn’t matter. As long as they ruled with an iron fist, Trump would’ve loved them.
