WASHINGTON (Sputnik) - US President Donald Trump on Tuesday refused to comment during a press briefing on Tuesday whether North Korean leader Kim Jong Un is still at the helm of the country.

Kim had disappeared from public life in past weeks and his absence has fueled rumours that he is gravely ill or has died.

"I don't want to comment on that. I just wish him well," Trump told reporters.

On Monday, Trump said he has "a very good idea" about Kim's status, but can not publicly disclose it.

Trump has praised his good relationship with Kim, saying that it helped avert a war between the United States and North Korea.
