US President Donald Trump has reaffirmed his ‘close relationship’ with North Korea’s Kim Jong Un.

In a meeting with South Korean President Lee Jae Myung, he said he hopes to meet with Kim later this year, saying “I look forward to seeing him... we got along great.”

Meanwhile, in an unusual move, Kim has recently released a highly emotive video of a ceremony for fallen soldiers in Pyongyang who died fighting for Russia.

So, what is Kim’s game plan here? And should New Zealand proceed if talks turn sour?

Today on The Front Page, International Relations professor Robert Patman is with us to unpack the latest.
