Rudy Giuliani, the former New York mayor who's now a lawyer for President Donald Trump, said North Korean leader Kim Jong Un begged the president to move forward with a planned summit after Trump abruptly cancelled it in late May. "Well, Kim Jong Un got back on his hands and knees and begged for it, which is exactly the position you want to put him in," Giuliani said at an investment conference in Israel, The Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday. Giuliani also said Trump had cancelled the meeting because of aggressive comments by the North Korean government. "They also said they were going to go to nuclear war with us, they were going to defeat us in a nuclear war," Giuliani said, according to The Journal. "We said we're not going to have a summit under those circumstances." Business Insider reached out to Giuliani for clarification on his comments in Israel, asking whether he had direct knowledge that Kim literally begged Trump to hold the summit. "No, it is my speculation," Giuliani responded. -------------------------------------------------------------- This is the US trying to torpedo any peace with Nth Korea. The last thing Trump's controllers, the US industrial/military complex want is peace anywhere. Dave R.
