White House: NKorea sent Trump 'warm, positive' letter

(10 Sep 2018) White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said President Donald Trump received a letter from North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, describing it as a "very warm, very positive letter." Sanders also said that relations between the two countries have improved under Trump, saying that the most recent parade held by North Korea "for once, was not about their nuclear arsenal." North Korean students rallied in Pyongyang's Kim Il Sung Square on Monday night in the final major event of the country's 70th anniversary, an elaborate celebration that has showcased the nation's aspirations for economic growth and Korean unity. This year's anniversary downplayed the missiles and nuclear weapons that brought the country to the brink of conflict with the United States just one year ago. Sanders also pushed back against Bob Woodward's new book, "Fear." She says many of the people he references in the book about the Trump White House say they were never asked to corroborate the quotes he attributes to them and called the book "reckless." Woodward has said people who are denying the remarks in his book, like Defense Secretary Jim Mattis and White House Chief of Staff John Kelly, are "not telling the truth."
