Update
HANOI, Vietnam – President Donald Trump
and Kim Jong Un failed to strike a nuclear deal Thursday, abruptly
ending their highly promoted summit hours early and leaving the fate of
North Korea's nuclear weapons up in the air.
"Sometimes you have to walk," Trump told reporters.
While
announcing that the talks had broken off, Trump continued to praise
Kim, calling him "quite a guy" and said that there still was a lot of
"warmth" in their relationship.
"It was about the sanctions," he said. "We couldn't give up all the sanctions"
While
the Vietnam summit collapsed, White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders
said the U.S. and North Korean negotiating teams "look forward to
meeting in the future,"
The stunning announcement came after Trump and Kim tamped down expectations for the two-day summit that played out amid ceremony in Vietnam and political turmoil in the United States.
"We’ll
ultimately have a deal," Trump told reporters just a few hours before
cutting off talks early, but he added that "doesn’t mean we’re doing it
in one day, in one meeting."
