Ron DeSantis is the latest 2024 candidate to slam Donald Trump for his warm words for North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un – upping his rhetoric against the former president.

Trump praised Kim in a Truth Social post Friday for North Korea being awarded an appointment to the executive board of the World Health Organization. He linked in the post to an American Greatness story that was critical of the position being granted to WHO, but ignored the premise of the article to praise Kim, whom he has called a friend.

'I was surprised to see that,' DeSantis told reporters in Iowa on Saturday when asked about the post.

The Florida Gov. called Kim a 'murderous dictator' for putting a full family, including an infant, in jail for life – and railed against The World Health Organization in general.

'The World Health Organization is a bankrupt organization,' he lamented. 'Like, Kim Jong Un is bad, but then joining that?'
