Trump’s Talks With Kim Jong-Un Collapse

“President Trump and Kim Jong-un, North Korea’s leader, abruptly ended their second summit meeting on Thursday when negotiations collapsed after the two sides failed to agree on even the first steps on nuclear disarmament, a peace declaration or reducing sanctions on the North,” the New York Times reports.

Said Trump: “It was about the sanctions. Basically they wanted the sanctions lifted in their entirety, but we couldn’t do that. Sometimes you have to walk.”

Politico: “A visibly deflated Trump began the press conference wrapping up his second summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un by talking about anything else. He riffed on the potentially nuclear crisis between India and Pakistan. The violent crackdown in Venezuela.”
