HANOI: The nuclear summit between United States President Donald Trump and North Korea’s Kim Jong Un in Hanoi ended abruptly on Thursday as they cut short their discussions and failed to reach an agreement. Trump said that the sanctions imposed on Pyongyang over its nuclear programme had been the sticking point. In the event, both men left the summit venue without signing anything and Trump moved up his news conference by two hours. The US president frequently dangled the prospect of a brighter economic future for a nuclear-free North Korea, at one point saying there was “awesome” potential. “The challenge is North Korea’s nuclear weapons are already a reality,” he added.
