“You’ve spoken so passionately about the circumstances that led to Otto Warmbier’s death. In the same breath, you’re defending Kim Jong Un’s human rights record. How can you do that?” a reporter asked.

“You know why? Because I don’t want to see a nuclear weapon destroy you and your family,” he responded.

“I don’t want to see — excuse me — because I don’t want to see a nuclear weapon destroy you and your family,” Trump repeated. “I want to have a good relationship with North Korea. I want to have a good relationship with many other countries.”

Trump also defended Sarah Sanders during the interview, saying, “Sarah loves this job, and she’s announced not with me. I read the same report. I think CBS she said it’s a false report. It was fake news. At some point, she will leave like everybody leaves. We’ll get somebody else. Sarah has done a fantastic job. I don’t think she was leaving. In fact, she was very insulted they came out and said that. I don’t think she is leaving.”
