Donald TrumpDonald Trump Jr. calls Bruce Springsteen's dropped charges 'liberal privilege' Schiff sees challenges for intel committee, community in Trump's shadow McConnell says he'd back Trump as 2024 GOP nominee MORE on Friday not to get "snookered" by North Korea, as the president announced that a meeting this month with Kim Jong Un in Singapore was back on.
"I think for these situations to work you have to not want the deal too much. If you fall in love with the deal and it's too important for you to get it ... you could get snookered.

He added that his "advice to the president is, if you're a great dealmaker, be interested in the details."
