**WASHINGTON** – Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump declared Friday that he could resolve most issues related to North Korea and Iran through phone calls and possibly in-person meetings.
Trump boasted about his foreign policy expertise during a press conference, highlighting his perceived leverage over adversaries like North Korea and Iran. He claimed that his strong stance has instilled fear in these countries, citing Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s comments.
“I’ll be able to make phone calls and solve most of the problems,” Trump stated. “I may actually have to meet a couple of times.”
This comes on the heels of North Korea’s unprecedented disclosure of a uranium enrichment facility and reports of Iran supplying missiles to Russia. Trump referenced these developments, emphasizing his ability to address these challenges.
Trump’s claims contrast with Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris’ stance. She has stated she would not engage in personal diplomacy with leaders like Kim Jong-un, emphasizing a focus on strengthening US alliances and deterrence.
With the general election less than two months away, the candidates’ starkly different approaches to foreign policy are becoming a key point of contention.
