National Security Adviser John Bolton insisted President Donald Trump's recent Hanoi summit with Kim Jong Un was a 'success,' even while recognizing that North Korea remains a growing threat.

National Security Adviser John Bolton insisted President Donald Trump's recent Hanoi summit with Kim Jong Un was a"success," even while acknowledging that North Korea remains a growing threat.

National Security Adviser John Bolton insisted President Donald Trump's Hanoi visit was somehow a"success" despite acknowledging that no denuclearization agreement was made and North Korea remains a growing threat. Getty Images Chip Somodevilla/Staff "But to be clear, North Korea still has not agreed to denuclearize as the U.S. defines it," Brennan pushed back.

CBS's Brennan noted that after Trump left Hanoi, Kim Jong Un remained there and was"walking around touring hot spots in Vietnam." Brennan pondered if the dictator's status as no longer being an interntional"pariah" was something he gained from the Trump talks.

A success good god are you complet nuts

Of course. Up is down, black is white and truth is alternative facts.

Still was a lot better than that summit Obama had with him.

It must be difficult trying to save your country and stand up for the man trying to ruin it at the same time!

That's not what he just said on Face the Nation, twice. He said 'The President believes it, and that's all that matters. Bolton said HIS opinion is irrelevant'. Saw and it myself!

There is no part of this that was a success...nothing was accomplished in either summit other than Trump took the word of another dictator over US intelligence on Warmbier's murder. I beg all of you stop defending the Cheeto-in-chief...it is a disgrace

The only nation giving up something was the United States. The South Korean’s are pawns for POTUS inept foreign policy.

Goebbels followed his Leader to the end as well!!

Flexibility is necessary in the Peace process with North Korea initiated by Presidents Trump, Moon&Leader Kim Jong-un. The process only can be successful with the support of China, Russia&japan. The next step, must be the necessaryPEACE agreement sign by the US,North&South Korea

Michal65172907 Looks as though Kim thought trump was so frickin dumb that he asked for all sanctions removed. Ha!

I just scrolled your feed and can’t believe all the propaganda and fakenews you guys spread. I remember when was a real news source, now just filled with hate and division.

Pathetic psychopath

Beware the man who speaks with a forked tongue.

Michal65172907 Oh ok. Idiots.

So surprised that POTUS loyalists are branding this a 'success'. I mean...who could have seen this coming?

It's hard for him to keep all his fake narratives and lies straight. Give him a break.

Success? LOL! Kim will never de-nuke.......or capitulate to America.

it was correct to walk away. Air Force One should have left Trump in Hanoi.

Sycophants abound in Russian mob controlled WH.

Russian TV is using it against us. Makes us look weak and back burner.

The world is tired of US Foreign Policy.

John Bolton: North Korea summit was not a failurePresident Trump is “not desperate for a deal — not with North Korea, not with anybody — if it’s contrary to American national interests,” Bolton said on “Fox News Sunday.” No, Donald Trump was the failure. The summit played out exactly as people expected. Hey! Bolton! Kim will never de-nuke. He will never capitulate to America. Doing so reflects weakness.
