What kind of person is Kim Jong-un according to US intelligence?
US intelligence experts are trying to create a portrait of Kim Jong-un for US President Donald Trump, ahead of their meeting, Reuters, citing sources, said.
According to the news agency, US intelligence officials faced great difficulties, as they knew almost nothing about the leader of the DPRK.
According to an official who wished to remain anonymous, analysts gathered all available information on Kim Jong-un. In particular, they relied on the impressions of CIA Director Mike Pompeo, who met with him.
The classified documents will describe Kim Jong-un's behavior, motivations, personality and leadership style. Gathering information on the North Korean leader is complicated by the lack of on-site spies and the difficulty of conducting cyber espionage, as the Internet is virtually non-existent in North Korea.
Currently, US intelligence considers Kim Jong-un a "rational activist", not a "crazy person". Reuters sources said the North Korean leader's goal is to protect the regime and dynasty. He is ruthless enough to kill his relatives, he feels confident and expects a lot from the meeting with Trump.
