Washington: US President Donald Trump said that he was glad to see North Korean leader Kim Jong-un "back and well" following rumours that the latter was gravely ill, media reports said on Sunday.
On Saturday, North Korea posted photos of Kim, ending a 20-day absence from public view that sparked intense speculation about his whereabouts and health, the Seoul-based Yonhap News Agency reported.
"I, for one, am glad to see he is back, and well," Trump wrote in a retweet on Saturday of what appeared to be a scholar's tweet embedded with photos of Kim at a May 1 ceremony marking the completion of a fertiliser plant in Sunchon, north of Pyongyang.
