Amid other revelations — including the president's candid thoughts about the true threat of the COVID-19 pandemic — journalist Bob Woodward’s latest Donald Trump book also reveals details about the 27 letters between him and North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un.

Trump, 74, has a noted (and controversial) friendliness with the authoritarian leader, who is believed to be about 36 years old.
Woodward reviewed the correspondence between the two while working on his book Rage, set for release next week, and he recorded transcripts into his audio recorder, according to CNN.
He was not allowed to copy or photograph the letters.
Trump agreed to 18 interviews with Woodward over the course of months, late last year and this year, for Rage.
The Trump-Kim letters — two of which Trump has already tweeted, one from him and one from Kim — further detail what the North Korean leader reportedly described as “a special friendship” that has grown between them since they held a historic face-to-face meeting in Singapore in June 2018.
