Kim Jong-un and I had a very good
relationship as you remember and still
do and uh when I came in I didn't know
him. We had two summits but uh we became
very friendly respect. It was great
respect and it was not going to be that
way had Hillary Clinton won the
election. It would have been a disaster.
But uh we think we can do something in
that regard with respect to North and
South and I think you are much more
prone to doing that than other leaders
that I've been working with from South
Korea and we'll work on that. I think
it's very good to work on that. If you
remember uh you were doing the Olympics
and there was a great time of hostility
with North Korea and you weren't selling
tickets uh because nobody wanted to be
blown up in the stadium during the
opening ceremonies, right? and you were
not selling tickets and I was also at by
my formative stage with North Korea and
Kim Jong-un and we were a little bit uh
going at it about rocket man little
rocket man every back and forth and it
was really nasty and then I got a call
one day and they wanted to get together
they wanted to talk and we started
talking and then he said really
brilliantly he said you know the
Olympics is going to be opening very
soon and we'd like to be a part of it.
They actually put teams in it. You got
along great. And by the way, immediately
upon that phone call, you started
selling tickets and it turned out to be
a tremendous success. So it went from
being empty stadiums because people were
afraid to go because it was a target
potentially to a great success and and I
was very proud of that. You had one of
the most successful Olympics and now we
have the Olympics coming to the US. So
we're very happy about that. But that
was a great honor to get involved and
make the Olympics so successful.
