Red positions stall as Hanoi talks remain in stalemate
UPI reports U.S. Ambassador Harriman and Hanoi negotiator Xuan Thuy clash over opening statements in Vietnam talks. Harriman proposes a mutual DMZ troop pullback as de-escalation while Thuy signals further broadside attacks. Both sides take a one day pause to study positions and consult capitals. Hanoi insists on an unconditional end to bombing and rejects a pullback that would imply North Vietnamese troops are in the South. The exchange leaves no sign of compromise and highlights a protracted fight over bargaining strength.
