'I am worrying about my lack of English proficiency,' Kim reportedly told South Korean President Moon Jae-in.

Kim Jong Un’s language skills were a topic of much debate as the world awaited his historic summit with President Donald Trump in Singapore in June 2018.

“I am worrying about my lack of English proficiency,” Kim told Moon, according to Tak. During the 30-minute conversation between the two leaders, Kim added that he “can speak German well,” in contrast to his English skills. Dennis Rodman, the former NBA star who has spent significant time in North Korea with both Kim and his father, told CNN during the Singapore summit that the young leader “understands bits and pieces. If you're talking about basketball, yes he understands that.”

Clearly he felt better 5 minutes in.

His are probably better!

Every time I look at that guy I think he has to smell like celery, onion and a fish’s asshole.

I heard Trump felt the same about his Korean. I’m sure they bonded over their insecurities.

And after talking with Trump, he became much less worried about his bad English skills. My three-year-old granddaughter has better English skills than both of them.

He shouldn't have been. Trump was clearly not an English major.

He needed not worried cadet bone spurs does not speak English either.

Doesn't he know that Donny's English skills are piss poor?

He should have been more nervous about that mess of a hair cut

Why Trump isn’t

Ironic, because realDonaldTrump has bad English skills but is too arrogant to know it.

Trump doesn’t speak English any better

I'd be willing to bet that OldFatDonald doesn't know how to say 'Hello' in Korean.

Fake news... Kim Jong Un attended for several years an english international boarding school in Switzerland. He speaks fluent english.

“Bad language skills on both sides...on both sides”

Don’t worry Kim, Gibberish is not the English language

No worries, Kim.

... then he realized his English was better than trump's

Don't worry Kim Jong Un,Trump's English is not that good either !!He knows only one language and that's money !!

Doesn't Kim have Twitter in NK He should see how Trump likes his 'hamberders' to be served with good 'covfefe'. He should also ask him about the newest African nation to come into existence, 'Nambia'. Nothing strange considering FOX thinks there are '3 Mexican countries'.

So what? The sane in America are worried about President tiny hands bigly.

No need to be nervous, Trumps English skills are garbage at best

Then he found out that DT couldn't speak English either. That's why he was smiling so often during their summit.

Has he heard Trump’s version of English? It’s bad! It’s sad!

His or Trump’s LOL

Despite knowing he has a better grasp of it than trump?
