President Trump abruptly walked away from negotiations with North Korea and headed back to Washington

Trump specifically said negotiations fell through after the North demanded a full removal of U.S.-led international sanctions in exchange for the shuttering of the North's Yongbyon nuclear facility. Trump and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo told reporters that the United States wasn't willing to make a deal without the North committing to giving up its secretive nuclear facilities outside Yongbyon, as well as its missile and warheads program.

“It was about the sanctions,” Trump said. “Basically, they wanted the sanctions lifted in their entirety, and we couldn’t do that. They were willing to denuke a large portion of the areas that we wanted, but we couldn’t give up all of the sanctions for that.”

"I'd much rather do it right than do it fast," Trump added, echoing his remarks from earlier in the day, when he insisted that "speed" was not important. "We're in position to do something very special."

Both leaders' motorcades roared away from the downtown Hanoi summit site within minutes of each other after both a lunch and the signing ceremony were scuttled. Trump's closing news conference was moved up, and he departed for Washington on Air Force One several hours ahead of schedule.

"Sometimes you have to walk."

— President Trump on his dealings with North Korea

The second summit with North Korea’s evil leader Kim Jong Un did not go as planned, and was abruptly cut short last night while we were all sleeping:

NY POST – The Vietnam summit between President Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un was abruptly cut short Thursday after the two leaders could not come to an agreement on denuclearization of the Korean peninsula.

Both men were expected to sit down for a lunch at the Sofitel Legend Metropole hotel in Hanoi before taking part in a joint agreement signing ceremony.

But the summit was suddenly called to an end as both teams packed up, got into their respective motorcades and left.

Trump then appeared at a press briefing at 2:20 p.m. local time (2:20 a.m. in New York) and said, “We had a really productive time. We had some options. At this time, we decided not to do any of the options.”

I really didn’t think this second summit was a very good idea in the first place, considering that there’s been so little movement by North Korea towards denuclearization since the first summit almost a year ago.

And it looks like, for now, nothing more will happen since this summit was ended in disagreement.
