President Trump touted North Korean leader Kim Jong Un’s eagerness to see him, boasting that when the two met, the strongman was happy to see him.

“You don’t have a man testing nuclear [weapons] anymore. You have a man that was so happy to see me. That’s a good thing, not a bad thing,” Trump said.

“You have a man that doesn’t smile a lot, but when he saw me, he smiled, he was happy,” he added.

The president, speaking to reporters Friday before departing the White House, contrasted Kim’s nuclear program now with how it was under President Barack Obama.

“You have a man that when I came into office, all he was doing before under Obama was testing nuclear weapons and blowing up mountains, and now he’s not doing it,” Trump said.

Last month, Trump became the first sitting U.S. president to step across the border of the Demilitarized Zone into North Korea, shaking Kim’s hand. “Stepping across that line was a great honor,” Trump said after making the historic border crossing.

In a new North Korean Constitution released Thursday, Kim was named head of state and military commander in chief of North Korea. Some believe the move is a signal that the country is setting the stage for a peace treaty, which could formally end the Korean War. Despite the gesture, experts believe Kim is not likely to get rid of his country’s nuclear weapons, regardless of U.S. pressure for the hermit nation to completely denuclearize.
