Kim Jong Un wants Trump back, elite defector tells BBC.

'Kim Jong Un will even kill all 25 million North Koreans to ensure his survival'.

Ri Il Kyu is the highest-ranking defector to escape North Korea since 2016 and has been face to face with Kim Jong Un on seven separate occasions.

He seems like an ordinary person,” Mr Ri tells the BBC.

He says that North Korea still views Mr Trump as someone it can negotiate with over its nuclear weapons programme, despite talks between him and Kim Jong Un breaking down in 2019.

Mr Trump has previously hailed the relationship with Kim as a key achievement of his presidency.
