Donald Trump, the former President of the United States, explained his relationship with Kim Jong Un, the leader of North Korea, during a Republican campaign rally in Ohio. Expressing satisfaction with this connection, he said, "I have a very good relationship with Kim Jong Un. When a country has 112 nuclear missiles, it’s good to have a good relationship with them."
Emphasis on the Importance of Communication
Trump made these remarks while tensions regarding nuclear weapons continue globally. In particular, his reference to the high number of North Korean nuclear missiles indicates that he believes establishing close communication with nuclear-armed countries can contribute to global stability. This comes as he specifically compared this situation with Iran and firmly stated, "Iran will never have a nuclear missile."

Critique of Iran's Nuclear Program
Trump also referred to Iran in part of his speech, claiming that the country has practically abandoned its nuclear weapons program. These remarks, which are somewhat related to his previous positions on the Iran nuclear deal, indicate a shift in his approach on this issue. He also added, "I have a decision to make about Iran. We can either proceed in an easy way or in a hard way." This statement, especially in the current context of ongoing nuclear negotiations between Iran and global powers, could have significant implications.
The former President of the United States, given his differing approaches towards various countries, particularly regarding nuclear weapons, clearly represents the significant challenges in U.S. foreign policy. While many analysts believe that close relationships with nuclear countries can help reduce tensions, others argue that this type of approach could bring new risks.
Considering Trump's statements and his emphasis on international communications, it seems he is seeking to strengthen the role of the United States as a global power and to create stronger relationships with countries currently in sensitive positions. This approach could particularly influence the upcoming elections and political competitions in the U.S. and requires special attention.
