U.S. doesn't know what condition North Korea's Kim is in: Trump

트럼프, 김정은 건강이상설에 "모른다…잘 있길 바란다"

Mixed reports on the health of the North Korean leader Kim Jong-un have been filling headlines across the world.
But still no confirmation on any of the reports so far.
U.S. President Donald Trump wished Kim Jong-un well while saying he doesn't know about his condition.
Kim Dami has the details.
With rumors spreading about the health of the North Korean leader,... the Trump administration says it doesn't know what condition Kim is in either.
"Well, these are reports that came out and we don't know. We don't know. So I just have to say to Kim Jong Un, I wish him very good luck. Good luck."
U.S. intelligence officials also insist they just have to watch how it plays out.
U.S. National Security Adviser Robert O'Brien said on Tuesday that the Trump administration is closely monitoring reports out of the North on Kim's health.
In an interview with CNN, O'Brien did note that someone in his family may succeed him if he couldn't continue to lead.
However, O'Brien stressed it's still too early to talk about that because the U.S. is unsure about Kim's current condition.
While rumors fly around the world,... the North's state-run Korean Central News Agency reported on Tuesday that Kim sent birthday gifts to exemplary workers in the regime.
The agency, however, did not include any date or picture related to Kim's supposed show of generosity.
Quoting an anonymous South Korean government official on Wednesday, the South Korean newspaper JoongAng Ilbo reported that Kim Jong-un is actually at one of his cottages in Gangwon-do Province, where he is working on regular leadership duties and various activities.
