Bill Richardson Applauds U.S.-North Korea Relationship: 'Best Period I’ve Seen in a Long Time'

During a Sunday appearance on New York AM 970 radio’s “The Cats Roundtable,” former Clinton administration ambassador to the United Nations and former Gov. Bill Richardson (D-NM) weighed in on the improving relationship between the United States and North Korea, saying it is the “best” he has seen “in a long time.”

“This is the best period I’ve seen in a long time,” Richardson told host John Catsimatidis. “I think for President Trump and Kim Jong-un … this North Korea-South Korea meeting sets a very good tone.”

“[T]he 25 million [people] that live in Seoul that are like right in the line of fire of North Korean artillery, conventional weapons, they’re breathing a little bit easier these days after their two leaders meet,” he added.
