Even though Bush was so tight with them that he literally smooched with one on camera.

(22,990 posts)Like that time the imbecilic fraud and genuine traitor saluted a North Korean general -- he owed them money:

Trump did not disclose $19.8m loan while president, documents show
The loan from Daewoo, a company with ties to North Korea, should have been reported in public financial disclosures
by Maya Yang
The Guardian, May 5, 2022
Donald Trump failed to disclose a $19.8m loan from a company with historical ties to North Korea, while he was the US president, according to a new report.
Documents obtained by the New York attorney general, and reported by Forbes, on Sunday indicate a previously unreported loan owed by Trump to Daewoo, the South Korean conglomerate.
Daewoo was the only South Korean company allowed to operate a business in North Korea during the mid-1990s.
Forbes revealed that Trumps relationship with Daewoo is at least 25 years old. At one point, Daewoo partnered with Trump on a development project near the United Nations headquarters in New York City, Trump World Tower.
Trump and Daewoo continued to do business together, including using Trumps name on six South Korea-based properties from 1999 to 2007, according to the magazine.
The outlet reports that the debt in question stems from an agreement Trump struck to share some of his licensing fees with Daewoo.

Pro Tip: The above would've made a swell campaign commercial.

(3,358 posts)I'm not certain of the date -- fairly certain is was 2018 -- Trump visited North Korea and saluted their generals.

Standing next to Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Trump was seen saluting and shaking hands as the long line of generals waited to greet the American president.
Journalist and former UN diplomat Olga Nesterova pointed out, "Trump goes ahead and salutes every single Saudi official at the Royal Court in Riyadh."
The X account @JoeyFotoFr displayed the following post: "As an American citizen, my president salutes no one in the world. If I'd accept an exception it would be a salute to the flag, covering the body of a fallen American soldier. Saluting these guys is national humiliation by the traitor Trump, a pig POTUS.".....
According to Newsweek, "There has been a discussion in recent years about the proper etiquette for presidents saluting the military, particularly those from other nations. A returned salute by Trump to a North Korean general during his first term sparked criticism, with some saying he should not have shown respect to a hostile nation. Others said it was courteous to return the gesture."
