Thieu resigns as Vietnam president amid bitter accusations
In a televised address Nguyen Van Thieu declared his resignation citing alleged U.S. aid promises from Nixon and accusing Henry Kissinger of betrayal. The move comes as Viet Cong forces press toward Saigon, with 100,000 troops massed and the capital defended from three sides. Thieu’s successor Tran Van Huong is expected to pass power to Tran Van Lam, as peace talks surface with uncertain prospects.
