WASHINGTON - The letters which North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and United States President Donald Trump exchanged before and after their meetings in 2018 and 2019 were effusive in their praise of each other, investigative journalist Bob Woodward wrote in a book released on Tuesday .

"Florid and grandiloquent, they trace how the two forged a personal and emotional bond," wrote Mr Woodward. In a Christmas letter half a year after the summit, Mr Kim described the meeting as"reminiscent of a scene from a fantasy film". After their third meeting, an impromptu but historic summit at the border of North Korea and South Korea on June 30 last year, Mr Trump sent a letter to Mr Kim, praising him and the success of the meeting.

In this letter, Mr Kim was polite but"sounded like a disappointed friend or lover", wrote Mr Woodward.
