Why the Trump-Kim Summit Failed?
2019-03-03The scheduled meeting among President Trump and Kim Jong-un fixed in the dining room of a French-colonial hotel in Hanoi on Thursday morning, had struck up in turning tense.
Mr. Kim had resisted what Mr. Trump presented as a grand bargain: North Korea would trade all its nuclear weapons, material and facilities for an end to the American-led sanctions squeezing its economy.
The White House confirmed the summit had ended with “no agreement reached” as the leaders headed back to their respective hotels. The official later described this as “a proposal to go big,” a bet by Mr. Trump that his force of personality, and view of himself as a consummate dealmaker, would succeed where three previous presidents had failed. Sarah Sanders, the White House press secretary, said negotiations would continue at a future date.
The reason of summit failed could be, Mr. Trump’s offer was essentially the same deal that the United States has pushed - and the North has rejected - for a quarter century. Intelligence agencies had warned him, publicly, Mr. Kim would not be willing to give up the arsenal completely. North Korea itself had said repeatedly that it would only move gradually.
