Kim-Trump summit in Hanoi: NO DEAL + no third summit

[chittychitty]

Donald Trump has said that a summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un broke down over the issue of sanctions, after the talks in Vietnam ended early with no deal.

“It was about the sanctions basically,” Trump said at a press conference in Hanoi. “They wanted the sanctions lifted in their entirety and we couldn’t do that ... Sometimes you have to walk, and this was just one of those times.”

The US president said that Kim had offered to dismantle some parts of his nuclear infrastructure, including the Yongbyon nuclear complex, but was not prepared to destroy other parts of the programme, including covert uranium plants.

“There is a gap. We have to have sanctions,” Trump said. “They were willing to denuke a large portion of the areas we wanted but we couldn’t give up all the sanctions for that.”

Trump said there was no plan for a third summit but made clear that the current status quo would continue, with North Korea continuing to suspend nuclear and missile tests, while the US would not take part in joint military exercises with South Korea, which the US president said he was opposed to anyway.

Both Kim and Trump too fed up well with Vietnamese food.

What an anti-climax for both show-offs! It ended up nothing more than a sight-seeing tour for Kim and another feel-good summit for Trump.

And non-Vietnamese food.

The fact is North Korea has improved a lot since the first meeting with Trump. If you watch the North Korean state-run KCTV channel, before that there was a lot of anti-America and anti-Trump propaganda. Nowadays, it's all but vanished.

Also, Trump has more pertinent matters on the domestic front: building the wall, and bringing the Democrat traitors to justice. The countdown has begun.
