Kim Jong-un’s unexpected disappearance The speculation about Kim Jong-un's health appeared after he unexpectedly missed the traditional birthday events of his grandfather Kim Il Sung on April 15th. Earlier this week, South Korean media reported that Kim went through a surgery on a cardiovascular disease. In turn, CNN reported that in the United States they are studying intelligence data that the life of the North Korean leader is in danger after the operation he allegedly underwent. At the same time, a source from South Korea confirmed to Reuters that Kim Jong-un is alive and most likely, will soon reappear in public.

"We have good relations with North Korea, I have good relations with Kim Jong-un and I hope he is doing well," Trump said.
