![]() ![]() I’m hopeful that the teams will get back together in the days and weeks ahead, and continue to work out what’s a very complex problem. I think Chairman Kim was hopeful that we would. We didn’t get to something that ultimately made sense for the United States of America. Unfortunately, we didn’t get all the way. And indeed we made even more progress when the two leaders met over the last 24, 36 hours. We had been working, our teams - the team that I brought to bear, as well as the North Koreans - for weeks to try and develop a path forward so at the summit we could make a big step - a big step along the way towards what the two leaders had agreed to back in Singapore, in June of last year. And I’ll let Mike speak to that for a couple of minutes, please. But sometimes you have to walk, and this was just one of those times. And I think, actually, it was a very productive two days. And we’ll see where that goes.īut it was a very interesting two days. But at this time - we had some options, and at this time we decided not to do any of the options. And I think our relationship is very strong. We spent pretty much all day with Kim Jong Un, who is - he’s quite a guy and quite a character. I’m going to let Mike speak about it.īut we literally just left. We thought, and I thought, and Secretary Pompeo felt that it wasn’t a good thing to be signing anything. We had a really, I think, a very productive time. ![]() On North Korea, we just left Chairman Kim. We are getting them into some of the cities and some of the areas that need them the most. People are starving to death, and you would really think that the man in charge, currently, would let those supplies get through. But we’re sending a lot of supplies down to Venezuela. It’s hard to believe somebody would say “let’s not do it.” What difference would that make, except it’s great for its people to let it get through. Supplies are getting through a little bit more. We have - Venezuela, as you know, has been very much in the news, and we’re sending supplies. And I think, probably, that’s going to be happening. So we’ve been in the middle, trying to help them both out and see if we can get some organization and some peace. It’s been going on for a long time - decades and decades. I think, hopefully, that’s going to be coming to an end. They’ve been going at it, and we’ve been involved in trying to have them stop. ![]() We have, I think, reasonably attractive news from Pakistan and India. So I want to thank all of the people of Vietnam for having treated us so well. What’s happened over the last 25 years has been incredible for the people of Vietnam, the job they’ve done - economic development. I want to begin by thanking the Prime Minister and President of Vietnam. THE PRESIDENT: Well, thank you very much.
