Noem's spokesperson said 'two small errors' will be corrected.
South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem speaks during the Conservative Political Action Conference, CPAC 2024, at the National Harbor, in Oxon Hill, Md., on Feb. 23, 2024.South Dakota Republican Gov. Kristi Noem is facing more controversy over her new memoir, with her spokesman saying a claim she makes about meeting North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and an account of an interaction with former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley are "errors" that "will be corrected" in future editions.
In this photo provided by the North Korean government, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un supervises a live-fire drill in North Korea, on March 18, 2024.Now, her team is trying to clean up that misleading story, suggesting, "Kim Jong Un was included in a list of world leaders and shouldn't have been," Noem's spokesman Ian Fury said in a statement to ABC News. The statement doesn't underscore why the South Dakota governor elaborated on the purported meeting with Kim.
Haley spokesperson Chaney Denton confirmed to ABC News that Haley's calendar shows the two spoke on the phone in 2020, not 2021.
