The summit between Donald Trump and Kim Jong Un is over. The day started with optimism and promises of turning North Korea into an economic power house. It ended with both men heading their separate ways without an agreement on denuclearization. The American and North Korean leaders could not come to terms. Trump says it came down to one thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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. So we continue to work and we’ll see. But we had to walk away from that particular suggestion. We had to walk away from that.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He explained that Kim was willing to dismantle nuclear facilities in Nyongbyon but in return wanted sanctions lifted — which would have been too much. He added the North has to give up more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Trump also said Kim promised him the North will not resume weapons testing and that he takes Kim at his word on that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
