North Korean officials are reading up on President Donald Trump — but he might not like some of the research material.

According to Jonathan Powell, a British negotiator who travels frequently to the North Korean capital, members of the Kim Jong Un's rogue regime are reading Michael Wolff's dishy Trump administration takedown, "Fire and Fury."

"They were very keen to study Donald Trump when I was there in December," Powell told CNN’s Christiane Amanpour in London.

Powell, the former chief British negotiator on Northern Ireland and former chief of staff to Tony Blair, currently runs a private firm, Inter Mediate.

"When I went back at the beginning of this year, they were reading 'Fire and Fury' – all on PDFs, not buying the book itself, and trying to discuss what that told them about Trump, too," Powell said, CNN reported.
