The White House says no joint agreement was reached between President Trump and Kim Jong Un at their closely watched second summit in Hanoi
The White House said no deal was struck between the two leaders."No agreement was reached at this time, but their respective teams look forward to meeting in the future," press secretary Sarah Sanders wrote in a statement.The two leaders departed the Metropole Hotel, where the talks unfolded, around 1:30 p.m. local time, roughly four-and-a-half hours after the talks began.
Kim, for his part, also expressed cautious optimism a deal would eventually be struck. But he did not suggest such an accord would come soon."It's too early to say," he said, in an unprecedented response to a foreign journalist's shouted question."From what I feel right now, I do have a feeling that good results will come out."He again responded to journalists later in the day, albeit somewhat begrudgingly.

Walking along the flower-lined pool deck at the French-colonial Metropole hotel, Kim and Trump engaged in friendly conversation to give the cameras an opportunity to capture them in a more casual setting.
