President Donald Trump said on Monday he agreed with North Korea’s insult of former Vice President Joe Biden’s intelligence, calling the Democratic presidential candidate “a disaster” during a trip to Japan.

“Kim Jong Un made a statement that Joe Biden is a low-IQ individual. He probably is based on his record. I think I agree with him on that," Trump said at a joint press conference in Tokyo with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. A U.S. reporter had asked the president whether it had been his intention in a Sunday tweet to appear to side with Kim, a dictator with a poor human rights track record, over a fellow American.
