President Donald Trump on Wednesday took to Twitter to give North Korean leader Kim Jong Un a backhanded pat on the back for avoiding a "catastrophic" outcome.

Trump's dubious praise of Kim comes a day after the North Korean dictator announced he would delay a decision to fire missiles in the waters off the U.S. territory of Guam.

State-run media said Kim would continue to keep an eye on the U.S. to see if the "Yankees persist in their extremely dangerous reckless actions on the Korean peninsula."
