Former United Nations ambassador Bill Richardson credited President Trump for accepting an offer to meet with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, saying that, while the meeting is risky, Trump is "gambling for the right reason."
"I have real reservations about the president's foreign policy. But on this one, I think he's gambling for the right reason," Richardson, a former Democratic governor of New Mexico, said in an interview with radio host John Catsimatidis on AM 970 in New York.
Richardson told Catsimatidis that Trump should refrain in the runup to the proposed meeting from insulting Kim, and should instead let "professional diplomats run the show."
"This has never happened - presidents from North Korea and the United States," he said. "I think this is good. But he should just be careful. This is high-stakes diplomacy. This is not reality TV."
