President Donald Trump on Wednesday told reporters that he planned to meet with North Korean Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un sometime this year.

"Yeah, I will," Trump told reporters when asked if he planned to meet with Kim this year.

"The fact that I get along with him, that's a good thing," Trump added. "He has 57 very powerful nuclear weapons... I know Kim Jong Un very well and he's gonna be fine."

Trump's comments follow the administration downscaling planned military exercises with South Korea, which he seemed to attribute to Seoul's unwillingness to aid in the Iran war.

He later shared a meme of Kim calling him on the phone to confirm that relations between both countries were stable.
