US President Donald Trump downplayed North Korea's nuclear capabilities during a Washington briefing, dismissing security concerns by highlighting his personal rapport with Kim Jong Un, whom he called "a friend".
The remarks contrast sharply with intelligence assessments from Seoul, which estimates that Pyongyang's expanding stockpile ranges between 80 and 120 nuclear warheads.
While defending his preference for personal diplomacy, Trump's dismissal of the nuclear threat drew immediate scrutiny amid ongoing regional anxieties over North Korea's active military developments and stalled denuclearization talks.
