The politics of North Korea made strange bedfellows of Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders on Saturday — when the Vermont Democrat said he doesn’t “fault” the president for his handling of Kim Jong Un.

Trump’s face-to-face meetings with Kim are “the right thing to do,” Sanders told ABC News, even given North Korea’s recent launch of short range missiles over the Sea of Japan.

“You know, this is one area, actually, where I do not fault Trump,” the 2020 presidential candidate told ABC’s Jonathan Karl.

“I think the idea of sitting down with Kim Jong Un is the right thing to do. It is very, very difficult, but clearly they are a threat to the planet,” Sanders said.

“They are isolated. They’re demagogic, and we have just got to do everything we can to have China and the people in the Pacific Rim put as much pressure on North Korea and make it clear that they cannot continue to act this way.”
