President Donald Trump said Tuesday that he would not approve of US intelligence agencies using family members of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un as assets, a day after a report that Kim's half-brother had travelled to Malaysia to meet his CIA contact before being assassinated there in 2017.
Trump said he was aware of the report on Kim Jong Nam's alleged contacts with US intelligence published Monday by The Wall Street Journal, which cited a "person knowledgeable about the matter."
The US president said his message to the North Korean leader would be that, "I wouldn't let that happen under my auspices."
