North Korea: Trump offered Kim Jong Un help in fighting coronavirus

[Me.]

So what, he's going to send them the respirators he can't be bothered to get for us?

“President Donald Trump has written another letter to Kim Jong Un, this one offering to help his country fight the potential spread of coronavirus, North Korean officials said Sunday.

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,” said Kim Yo Jong, the North Korean leader’s sister and senior ruling party official, according to the Korean Central News Agency.

North Korea has said it has no cases of coronavirus, but some foreign policy analysts are skeptical of those claims.
Trump and Kim have often exchanged letters during their on-again, off-again negotiations over U.S. demands that North Korea end its nuclear weapons programs. Those talks remained deadlocked.

The latest letter came after North Korea again tested short-range ballistic missiles over the weekend, drawing protests from South Korea.”

The hamster operating the wheel in his head must have come down with coronavirus.

Helping North Korea when he’s the president of a country running out of N95s because of his own lack of action? How can his cult members justify this one?
