Trump “expressed his intent to render cooperation in the anti-epidemic work,” North Korean state news agency KCNA announced. According to the outlet, the President “was impressed by the efforts made by the Chairman [Kim] to defend his people from the serious threat of the epidemic.” North Korea so far has reported no coronavirus cases, but South Korean sources insist that the disease had been affecting their neighbors too. |
