US President Donald Trump has described North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un as a “madman”. However, CIA officials said Kim is far from crazy, CNN reported.

Top CIA officials said Kim’s actions are not those of a maniacal provocateur but of a “rational actor” who is motivated by clear goals that revolve around his regime’s survival. “There’s a clarity of purpose in what Kim has done,” Yong Suk Lee, deputy assistant director of the CIA’s Korea Mission Center, said, adding:  “The last person who wants conflict on the peninsula is Kim.”
