«Breaking News» Dems brand Trump-Kim summit a 'failure' after 'naive' president left without a nuclear deal

Donald Trump left his second summit with North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un empty handed after the U.S. president decided to 'walk away' from talks without so much as a framework for a treaty.

Trump, at a news conference, explained that Kim wanted to give up some of his nukes in exchange for the lifting of economic sanctions, but he would not agree to certain sites the U.S. is demanding. 

'We had to walk away from that particular suggestion,' he acknowledged.

Democratic lawmakers said they were not surprised that the Republican president - whose claim to fame is his deal-making skills - could not get Kim to agree the United States' preconditions for sanctions relief. 

They called the summit a 'failure' and the president who orchestrated it 'naive' for believing that the authoritarian leader would ever hand over his nuclear arsenal.

'I'm not surprised it ended in failure. Trump just does not know what he's doing,' Congressman Brendan Boyle told DailyMail.com. 'We have gotten absolutely nothing out of these two bilateral summits, other than a photo op.' 

Even though a third summit is not planned for this time, after talks in Hanoi ended with the U.S. nixing a publicly-advertised signing ceremony for a document that never emerged, Trump said that the two sides agreed to keep the conversation going.

Kim verbally promised not to conduct any additional nuclear tests, Trump told reporters. He personally committed to the indefinite suspension of joint United States and South Korean military drills.

Trump pitched the military drawback as his preference, however. 'Those exercises are very expensive,' he stated.

Prior to the summit a U.S. official indicated that the Trump administration had also relaxed a request that North Korea hand over a complete inventory of both its nuclear and missile sites in order for an accord to be reached.

Trump, at a news conference, explained that Kim wanted to give up some, but not all, of his nukes in exchange for the lifting of economic sanctions, 'So we continue to work, and we'll see. But we had to walk away from that particular suggestion'

Congressman Ruben Gallego, a member on the House Armed Services Committee, said the administration is either 'naive or so desperate for a deal' that it was willing to offer North Korea 'something for nothing' to get to this point in talks.

'North Korea does not intend to denuclearize,' he told DailyMail.com. 'It shows either the administration is naive or so desperate for a deal that they would go down this path.' 

Trump suggested at a press conference that followed the summit that he may have been willing to lift some sanctions if Kim had agreed to dismantle key facilities.

'But they weren't willing to do an area that we wanted. They were willing to give us areas but not the ones we wanted,' he explained.

Kim offered areas 'that are less important than the areas that we want' and that was the hold up.

Trump declined to recommit to complete, irreversible, verifiable denuclearization, further signaling a softening of his views.

Rep. Jim Clyburn, the number three House Democrat, told DailyMail.com as Trump flew back to the United States: 'I don’t think anybody expected the president to get a deal out of that. I don’t know what he was thinking.'

Some legislators signaled relief that Trump had walked away, knowing what was on the table.  

'In some ways this might be the best possible realistic outcome from my perspective because I was nervous President Trump would make an agreement that would be far worse than just a failed summit,' Boyle said.

One Democratic lawmaker, who asked to speak to the DailyMail.com on background, said,' I guess no deal is better than a bad deal.'

The lawmaker added what really concerned him were the president's comments on Otto Warmbier, the American student sent to a work camp who came back to the U.S. in a comma and died several days later.

'I was blown away by the president's quote about Otto Warmbier. That the president would defend Kim Jong-un and his regime I thought was incredible,' the lawmaker said.

The member of Congress said the second summit did not help Trump's reputation as a deal maker.

'I think he really hasn't done a deal with anybody,' the lawmaker said, adding: 'He tries to do things on his own. He's not really a deal maker. At least he hasn't shown that in politics.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
