Kristy Noem addresses rumors of meeting with Kim Jong Un amid new controversy

South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem found herself in the spotlight once again as she addressed the controversy surrounding her claim of meeting North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in her upcoming book. Invited to CBS News’ ‘Face the Nation’, Noem faced tough questions from host Margaret Brennan about the alleged encounter.

Admitting that the anecdote of meeting Kim Jong Un shouldn’t have been included in the book, Noem stated, “As soon as it was brought to my attention, I made sure that that was adjusted.” She emphasized that edits had been made to the passage in question and that the updated version would be available to readers.

When pressed about whether she actually met Kim Jong Un, Noem remained evasive, stating that she has met many world leaders but declining to discuss specific meetings. Despite the scrutiny, she expressed excitement about the release of her memoir ‘No Going Back’.

The controversy surrounding Noem’s claim of meeting Kim Jong Un has raised doubts about her credibility. Her spokesman clarified that the book’s publisher would address the inaccuracies regarding world leaders’ names mentioned in the book.

Noem, who was once considered a potential running mate for former President Donald Trump, has faced criticism for other controversial revelations in her book, including admitting to shooting her dog and killing her family goat. As she navigates these controversies, Noem’s political future remains uncertain.
