Trump is trying not to criticize Kim Jung Un or embarass him publicly in hopes of finding an agreement at some point. Every one knows that Kim Jung Un kills people and is a brutal dictator. Trump knows this, but also knows that it is not in our best interest to publicly condemn him. You know, we cannot police the world. Human rights violations happen everywhere. We don't have to embrace it, but there is very little to be gained by turning our backs to condemn him.
Do not construe this to mean I agree with what Kim Jung Un does. He doesn't care if the rest of the world condemns him. But he is no worse than any other brutal dictator that has been in power in a number of other countries, except he has nukes. His people are starving, they are brainwashed, the country is among the poorest in the world. Execution of his top supporters is hardly the worst thing.
