North Korean Foreign Minister Ri Yong Ho speaks at a news conference following the end of a summit between North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and U.S. President Donald Trump, in Hanoi, Vietnam, March 1, 2019.Get breaking news alerts and special reports. The news and stories that matter, delivered weekday mornings.HANOI, Vietnam — North Korea is disputing President Donald Trump's account of why the summit between Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un collapsed.
North Korea's foreign minister said that the North demanded only partial sanctions relief in exchange for shuttering its main nuclear complex, and that the discussions collapsed after the U.S. demanded further disarmament steps. Ri Yong Ho's comments during an abruptly scheduled news conference in Hanoi on Friday contradicted the explanation by Trump, who hours earlier had told reporters that the North had demanded a full removal of sanctions in exchange for shuttering the Yongbyon nuclear facility.
Ri says the North was also ready to offer in writing a permanent halt of the country's nuclear and intercontinental ballistic missile tests and that Washington wasted an opportunity that"may not come again."He says the North's position wouldn't change even if the United States offers to resume another round of dialogue.Pompeo told reporters aboard his plane Thursday that his team will get back to work"tomorrow" although no new meetings have yet been scheduled.
Pompeo said progress was made between Trump and Kim at their talks in Hanoi but not enough to warrant signing any kind of agreement. The White House had scheduled a signing ceremony but abruptly canceled it along with a lunch when it became clear an agreement could not be reached.
This is a fundamental problem when you have a POTUS who is an habitual Liar. The American people do not know when he is telling the truth or lying again! So SAD for America!
Sounds like the translators weren't getting the job done?
Our “Liar in Chief” stories again. Trump could have made partial sanctions liftwithagreement to have monitors in place to assure that nuclear and ballistic missiles development stops. The great negotiator my ass.
Liars saying the other liar is the liar.
You tried to screw up Reagan and now you're doing the same thing to Trump. Anti-peace! Anti-American!
That’s right Trump wanted Kim to sign a peace treaty and PM Kim would not because Trump did not full fill a promise he made plus Trump planned this trip because of Cohen hearing as well there’s your answer
I knew they would just given time. Cant leave.well enough alone .😡
Trump left because of the Cohen hearings headlines that were pushing the ‘summit’ off the front page! Also, both sides didn’t do their homework for the summit, obviously! Big failure! I actually think N. Korea’s explanation makes more sense than Trump’s!🤪🤪
Trump used 'too much teeth'.
We know DONALD is a liar
Of course they are.
So maybe Trump is not revealing the whole truth !
Kim Jong Un needs to answer that question directly.
According to Trump Kim does not lie
I’ll take Kim at his word
Sad when I believe Notth Korea over President of the US. TrumpFail TrumpLies TrumpLiesMatter
I was waiting for that to come out.
I immediately trust their version more than trumps.
Of course they do because trump lies all the time
Of course they would. They don't want to look bad in the world's eyes. Kim took a hard stance with no flexibility. He'll come around in time.
I’ll believe Kim Jong-un The President does FAKEpresident has lied over 9,000 and counting times why would anyone believe him?
Damn now even the despot is calling Trump out...kinda suck to be him!!
nbc trust in communism dictator spin you can trust!
Donald Trump lied?😱
Hopefully, you got this story right for a change. Last nights reporting was a tad on the inaccurate side.
Oh, yeah...let’s believe them over our president. They always tell the truth.
Well like our President, I believe N. Korea over our people’s story. Isn’t that right Mr. Trump?
And agin trump lies to the American people. he should call no one a lier .
It ended because the media was busy covering Cohen and his lies rather than putting pressure on him as America watched. The democrats circus makes America look weak and divided. Democrats are hurting America around the world.
I don’t see the difference between what he just said and what realDonaldTrump said. Give me a break, this isn’t news.
This is unbelievable! What a waste of time, and money! The only thing coming out from the WH are lies on top of lies on top of lies.
So let me guess, NBC stands on the side of North Korea...
I trust my President.
Ohhh noooo
Of course they are
The POTUS just got played by the dictator of an impoverished nation. realDonaldTrump, you've elevated KimJongUn to a level of importance on the national stage he never should have had. AND GOT NOTHING OUT OF IT. Trump is a failure at home and abroad. NorthKoreaSummit
Fully rational people are wondering who is lying- Kim Jong Un, NK brutal dictator or Donald Trump the President of the United States of America, who has lied over 8,000x since taking office. The damage to the office of president is so horrible it will take years to get cred back
Yeah lets listen to a hated regime.
Yup. I believe North Korea.
Fake news
Of course they do
DON'T BELIEVE A SINGLE WORD tRUMP SAYS!
Well who’d a thought? 🤔
You know things are really bad when one believes North Korean, rather than believes own president.
You cannot conduct foreign policy if nobody trusts your President. usa
More POTUS lies, what's new?
Let them dispute it all they want.
Two horrible leaders gathered to shake hands and eat rice noodles. That’s about it
Oh my goodness...you mean, they're calling him a ...liar? For real?
NBC...now who is taking the side of the North Koreans? If they don't give up all the nukes, we don't drop sanctions. Which part don't you or they understand.
Welcome to our world of disputing all things said by realDonaldTrump . He's less credible than North Korea, and he's earned it
Surprising says absolutely No One🤭!
Of course, because my president is a racist, he is a con man, and he is a cheat. He is so stupid, he actually thinks that he can outsmart NK. What a joke time we living in!
Nuke them
trump & Pompeo: The Two Stooges return from Vietnam empty handed.
And I'm the meantime Dore Gold is on C-SPAN at the CPAC talks being Trump's hype man.
No way. So surprising.
Dear North Korea, The summit itself was only a distraction and another photo op planned by an increasingly desperate traitor with no clear exit strategy currently occupying the White House. Just like last time. 👍🏽
What kind of f'd up world do we live in when I'm FAR more inclined to believe the No. Korean account than our own President's?
Not my shocked face.
imagine that ........ trump lying 🤪
Are they calling him a lair You don’t say...
“Collapse”. Love fakenews
It’s a weird feeling when you’re not sure if you should believe a North Korean dictator or the president of the United States
