President Donald Trump wrote online Tuesday that denuclearization negotiations with North Korea are “going well,” adding that the U.S. would be at war with the repressive communist state if not for him.

“Many good conversations with North Korea-it is going well! In the meantime, no Rocket Launches or Nuclear Testing in 8 months,” the president wrote on Twitter. “All of Asia is thrilled. Only the Opposition Party, which includes the Fake News, is complaining. If not for me, we would now be at War with North Korea!”

Trump met last month in Singapore with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, the first known meeting between a sitting U.S. president and a North Korean leader. The meeting ended with relatively little in terms of tangible takeaways but the two men agreed to future talks aimed at denuclearizing the Korean Peninsula.

The rapid warming of relations with North Korea has been a point of pride for the president, who seemed to revel in the international spotlight that shone on his meeting with Kim. Trump's success thus far toward denuclearizing North Korea has come where his White House predecessors of recent vintage from both parties have mostly failed, although Pyongyang has for many years made promises on denuclearization that it did not follow through on.

The momentum on denuclearization talks with North Korea mark a stark contrast with the rhetoric of last summer, when Trump and Kim hurled insults and threats at one another across the Pacific, seemingly pulling the two nations closer to open conflict than they have been in several years. North Korea engaged in a series of ballistic missile tests and also tested its largest ever nuclear device, while Trump bragged about the size of the U.S. nuclear arsenal and threatened to destroy North Korea with “fire and fury.”
