'Great respect' between US and N. Korea: Trump

There is "great respect" between the United States and North Korea, President Donald Trump said Monday, predicting "lots of good things" despite recent missile launches by Pyongyang.

"Lots of good things will come with North Korea... We've come a long way," Trump said at the start of bilateral talks with Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.

"There's good respect built, maybe great respect built between certainly the United States and North Korea."
