Duelling accounts emerge after Trump Kim Hanoi talks collapse
In Hanoi the United States and North Korea issued opposite explanations for the breakdown of their summit. Trump said sanctions must be lifted with no firm Kim dismantling nuclear arms, while Ri Yong Ho argued partial sanctions relief was offered in exchange for shutting Yongbyon and a permanent halt to tests. Trump pressed military strength abroad and left early. Kim signaled no change in stance despite the setback. The episode clouds prospects for a broader deal and leaves future talks uncertain.
