(Photo: AFP/Saul Loeb) Trump, currently in Japan on a trip aimed at improving ties with Washington's close Asian ally, also suggested that Kim was sending him a "signal" through a North Korean state media commentary on Joe Biden - in which the former vice president was labelled an "imbecile" and a "fool of low IQ" for criticising Kim.
