Republican candidates rebuke Trump for praising Kim Jong-un and breaking protocol.

Several Republican presidential candidates, including Ron DeSantis and Nikki Haley, have criticized former President Donald Trump for praising North Korean leader Kim Jong-un after the country was appointed to the board of the World Health Organization. Trump's praise of Kim has prompted controversy before, and his rivals' criticism comes as a rare moment of dissension during the campaign. Trump's former vice-president, Mike Pence, and former Arkansas governor Asa Hutchinson also condemned the move, with Pence saying that "nobody should be praising the dictator in North Korea or praising the leader in Russia."
