HANOI: After warm greetings and a “social dinner”, US President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un get down to business Thursday, with formal summit talks aimed at breaking the deadlock over Pyongyang’s nuclear programme.
Trump described Kim as a “great leader” and said his country had “tremendous economic potential, unbelievable, unlimited” as he vowed to “help” North Korea achieve those goals.“We came all the way to Hanoi to meet again, 261 days later,” he told the US president, vowing to do his best to ensure a “great outcome” from the talks.
It was a far cry from the height of missile-testing tensions in 2017 when Trump slammed Kim as “rocket man” and the younger man branded the American president a “mentally deranged US dotard”. Kim is looking for relief from biting sanctions for his deeply impoverished country, as well as security guarantees for him and his regime.
