A few hours ago Trump spoke of a 'very big' success, but now we have
"US walked away from discussions over disagreement on sanctions
Trump says “it was about the sanctions. Basically they wanted sanctions lifted in their entirety and we weren’t willing to do that.”
Trump says “we had to walk away from that particular issue”."
But also
"Trump is asked if it was his decision to end the talks or Kim’s.
“I don’t want to say it was my decision, because what purpose is that. But we’ll keep the relationship,” says Trump."
and not a threat of course
"Trump is taking a question from Sean Hannity.
Hannity says: How can you bridge the gap between the US and North Korean ideas about denuclearisation?
Trump says it will take time. But “we know every inch of that country”."
An answer to a question not asked, which probably means the summit was a bit premature Trumpish.
"Trump is asked whether he thinks it was premature to hold the summit.
“I could’ve signed something today,” says Trump. “But it’s better to do it right than do it fast.”"
and China gained some prestige out of Trump's (no) show?
"Trump says Kim promised him “the testing would not start, the testing of rockets and missiles and anything to do with nuclear and we’ll see”.
Trump is praising China for helping with discussions, saying they have had a bigger impact than most people realise, but he says Kim is a “strong guy” and doesn’t take orders from anyone."
So I guess no Nobel Peace prize this time
PS also a question on Cohen's answers at the Senate inquest. Trump says "Cohen lied of lot". We know that as it wasn't Christian mercy or charity which kept Trump relying on Cohen for more than ten years.
