(Bloomberg) -- The U.S. is seeking details about Kim Jong Un’s health after receiving information that the North Korean leader was in critical condition after undergoing cardiovascular surgery last week, U.S.
officials said. The Trump administration wasn’t sure of Kim’s current condition, said the officials, who asked not to be identified.
One of the officials said the White House was told that Kim underwent surgery last week and took a turn for the worse. CNN had earlier reported, citing a U.S.
official with direct knowledge of the matter, that Kim may be in “grave danger" after the surgery. The White House declined to comment.
