President Trump said Friday that he gave North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un a “very direct number” to call him when they met Tuesday in Singapore.
“I gave him a very direct number. He can now call me if he has any difficulty,” Trump told reporters outside the White House.
Trump indicated he has similar access to Kim.
“I can now call him. I can now say, well, we have a problem,” Trump said during a gaggle with reporters north of the West Wing.
It’s unclear what number Trump provided. Even some of Trump’s closest allies, reportedly including Fox News anchor Sean Hannity, dial the White House switchboard’s publicly listed number before an operator connects them to Trump.
Trump has at least two publicly known government-issued cellphones, though he reportedly bristles at routine security updates, finding them “too inconvenient.”
