President Donald Trump’s personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, defended his description of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un as being on his “hands and knees” begging just days before a historic summit is scheduled to take place.
Speaking at a conference in Israel on Wednesday, Giuliani said Kim “got back on his hands and knees and begged for it, which is exactly the position you want to put him in,” after Trump canceled the summit, the Associated Press reported. The comments risked upsetting the North Koreans days before the meeting with Trump.
