White House intelligence is looking into reports regarding the health of North Korea’s leader. According to recent reports,
Kim has been in a “vegetative state,” significantly declining in
health, following his absence from the state anniversary event for his
grandfather’s birthday.While speaking with the press Saturday, White House officials confirmed they are aware of the ongoing situation.
“We’re definitely aware of those reports, the intelligence community is looking very closely at that,” stated Kayleigh McEnany. “We don’t have any updates on that at this time.”
Kim’s last confirmed public appearance was on April 11th, when he attended a politburo meeting.
Earlier this week, the White House dismissed initial reports regarding his health. President Trump called the reports “fake” and is hoping they are incorrect.
“I’ve had a very good relationship with him,” added the president. “I wish him well.”
