Montana Senator Steve Daines returned this weekend from a trip to China, where he talked about trade, but the majority of questions with Chinese leaders revolved around North Korea.
Kim Jong Il, the eccentric leader of North Korea since 1994, has died at the age of 69.
North Korea’s state-run KCNA news agency reported that after “great mental and physical strain,” he passed away of a heart attack at 8:30 a.m. Saturday while on a train during a “field guidance tour.”
