After the controversy with claim in Kristi’s upcoming book in which she mentioned about her meeting with Kim Jong Un, the North Korean leader. The South Dakota Governor, Kristi Noem was invited by CBS News “Face The Nation” in order to reveal that if the encounter really happened or not.
When the host of CBS News, Margaret Brennan asked, “Did you meet Kim JongUn?” to Neom, she replied: “Well, you know, as soon as this was brought to my attention, I certainly made some changes and looked at this- this passage, and I’ve traveled around the world. As soon as it was brought to my attention, we went forward and have made some edits.”
“Those edits will be in place, and that people will have the updated version,” Kristi also added that while showing excitement ahead of the release of her memoir ‘No Going Back’.
The host again forced her that if she is not accepting that meeting, she reiterated that she has met several world leaders, but did not agreed to talk about specific meetings with world leaders, Neom then said “I’m just not going to do that”. Neom admit that the anecdote of meeting Kim Jong Un should not have been mentioned in the book. Neom said: “As soon as it was brought to my attention, I made sure that was adjusted. So the is not released until Tuesday. And so we’re doing all that we can to make sure that those changes are made.”
Neom also mentioned in ‘No Going Back’ The Truth on what’s wrong happened in Politics and How we move America Forward’ and how she met Kim Jong Un during her service as South Dakota’s representative in Congress.
“I remember when I met with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un . I’m sure he underestimated me, having no clue about my experience staring down little tyrants. Dealing with foreign leaders takes resolve, preparation, and determination,” she wrote, without providing specific details about her meeting with the North Korean leader.
Neom is considered to be a potential running-mate by supporting her former President Donald Trump by appearing in rallies and openly expressing her support towards him.
