DPRK Today, which is known to be one of the nation's mouthpieces, also praised Trump for his position on several key issues. Among them is the fact that Trump has stated that he is unwilling to be involved in a war between North and South Korea as well as his openness to have talks with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.

The paper further mentions how Trump's suggestion to pull American troops away from the South Korean border is one of the ways peace could be restored in the region.

For years, North Korea has called for the withdrawal of US troops from the Korean border as the first step to ensuring peace is achieved. 

The publication described Trump's likely Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton as "thick-headed Hillary" for her calls for economic sanctions tp be imposed on North Korea. Clinton proposed that the US uses the same policy it used against Iran to pressue North Korea to give up its nuclear program.

Currently, the DPRK is under heavy sanctions imposed by the United Nations over its nuclear tests. Pyongyang is not currently in talks with South Korea or the United States. The North Korean government insists that multilateral discussions are not helpful.

North Korea, nonetheless, continues to iterate its intention to resolve the dispute with South Korea through dialogue.
