Kim Jong-un might lose 'special relationship': Trump

The nuclear negotiations between the US and North Korea have been at a standstill since the Hanoi summit between President Donald Trump and leader Kim broke up in February and Pyongyang has since demanded Washington to change its approach by the end of the year.

Washington: Amid reports that North Korea conducted an important test at a missile site, US President Donald Trump on Sunday warned that Kim Jong-un could void the special relationship.

"Kim Jong Un is too smart and has far too much to lose everything if he acts in a hostile way," Trump wrote in a pair of tweets. "He does not want to void his special relationship with the President of the United States..."

Reportedly, North Korea said that it has carried out a very important test at its key satellite launching station.

The reports stated that the result of the successful test would play a significant role in altering the strategic position of North Korea soon.

"The result will play a significant role in once again altering the strategic position of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea shortly," the Academy of National Defence Science said in a statement referring to North Korea by its official name.

Sunday's development comes a day after the country said that the denuclearisation talks with the United States are off the table.
