Trump said that 30-100 million people would die if war broke out with North Korea during the former Obama administration.

This information was given by Trump in an exchange in January with Doug Wead, former adviser to two US presidents. Wead recounted this story in a book titled "Inside the White House of Trump: The true story of his presidency" published on November 26.

Wead wrote in that conversation, Trump asserted his belief that his predecessor Barack Obama would go to war with North Korea if he continued to take power. "I think 30-100 million people may have been killed," Wead quoted President Trump.

South Korea has 51.2 million people and the Korean population of 25 million.

The White House boss also added he did not believe in experts' predictions that only 100,000-200,000 people would die if war broke out on the Korean peninsula. Trump said that this figure is only equivalent to the population of a village in Korea.

"As you know, Seoul is right next to the border. It's a strictly guarded border that cannot be crossed. The population of Seoul is 30 million and Kim (Chairman Kim Jong-un) has up to 10,000 cannons. He doesn't even need nuclear weapons to create one of the biggest disasters in history, "Trump added.

In fact, the population of Seoul is less than 10 million.

The White House owner also showed Wead some of the letters President Kim wrote to him. "I firmly believe that my strong will, sincere efforts and unique approach, aimed at opening a new future between Korea and the United States, will certainly come true," Kim Jong-un leader wrote in a letter.

While having lunch with Wead, Trump continued to complain how the media reported the first historic summit between him and President Kim in Singapore in June 2018, when they said the meeting could be The United States has given in too much.

"In fact, there's nothing we can't reverse. Canceling drills has saved us millions of dollars and we can launch them anytime we want. So they What did I give up? We still apply harsh sanctions to them. The sanctions are still in effect, "Wead quoted President Trump.

The White House boss also complained to Wead that it was allies who treated the worst of the United States. He revealed that the United States is spending about $ 4.5 billion a year on 40,000 troops stationed in South Korea, but the fact that the US forces are regularly deployed in the country is only about 28,500 people.

"You've probably heard the story of THAAD missile defense system in South Korea?" Trump said, referring to the High-Range Missile High-Defense Missile Defense System that the United States placed in South Korea in 2017 to prevent the threat from North Korea. "We give a lot but we receive nothing," the White House boss said.
