"You have a neighbor that hasn't been as nice as they could be, and I think they will be. I know Kim Jong Un very well, and I think things will work out very well," he said.
Trump said earlier this week that he would be open to meeting with Kim during his time in South Korea. Trump is entering the final leg of his five-day Asia trip on Wednesday, having already visited Japan earlier this week.
"I'd love to meet with him if he'd like to meet. I got along great with Kim Jong Un. I liked him, he liked me," Trump said during a gaggle on Air Force One on Monday.
