North Korea dictator Kim Jong Un accused the US of operating in “bad faith” at the summit in Hanoi, which produced no new breakthroughs in talks between Kim and President Trump about the regime’s nuclear program and US sanctions,
Kim said peace on the peninsula depended on the US’ “future attitude,” the French news agency reported.
Theꦕ highly anticipated sitdown at the end of February ended with the two leaders at loggerheads.
Trump had demanded sanctions relief only if the No꧃rth totally abandoned its nuclear weapons prꦯogram.
Kim wanted sanctio♊ns relief in exchang🦹e for dismantling a single nuclear facility.
Trump has said since then that he would be open to another meeting with Kim, who is in Moscow meeting with Russian strongman Vladimir Putin.
Putin said he was willing to share details with the United States about his sum🍬mit, potentially raising Russia’s influence in the stalemated issue of North Korean denuclearization.
The two leaders’ first one-on-one did not indicate major changes in North Korea’s position: Putin said Kim is willing to give up nuclear weapons, but only if he gets ironclaꦑd security guarantees.
However, Putin said Kim urged him to explain the nuances of Nor๊th Korea’s pos❀ition to Trump.
Such an interlocutor role could be meaningful in light of Trump’s apparent admi꧃ration of the Russian leader.
