There are two different opinions in North Korea of U.S. President Trump and his position in the United States Government. The ordinary citizens do not care who he is and do not know that much about him. According to interviews in Pyongyang, North Korea's capital city, they only care that the leader of the United States does not oppose their country, beliefs and values. Another opinion of President Trump is more dramatic. North Korea's Supreme Leader Kim Jong-un does not like President trump at all. He also does not like anything about the United States. He has stated to the World that he recently has developed an intercontinental ballistic missile that can reach anywhere in the United States. To me, this seems like a threat to the United States and our beliefs, which believes me to also strongly believe that he must dislike President Trump.
Gaouette, Nicole, and Barbara Starr. "Facing Growing North Korea Nuke Threat, Trump Vows: 'It Won't Happen!'" CNN. Cable News Network, n.d. Web. 15 Mar. 2017. Ripley, Will, and Tim Schwarz. "What Do North Koreans Think of Donald Trump?" CNN. Cable News Network, n.d. Web. 15 Mar. 2017. The most interesting thing I have learned so far about North Korea is how new the country is. Most countries are several hundred years old, and some are over a thousand years old. I was astonished upon learning that North Korea has only been a country for 68 years (since 1948). I thought this fact was very interesting and unique.
