President Trump abruptly ended his summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un Thursday; saying he had to “walk” away from negotiations after Kim demanded the US remove all sanctions against his government before they begin the process of denuclearization.
The President spoke with reporters at a solo press conference after canceling his scheduled lunch with the North Korean leader; saying “Sometimes you have to walk.”
“It was about the sanctions,” Trump said. “Basically, they wanted the sanctions lifted in their entirety, and we couldn’t do that. They were willing to denuke a large portion of the areas that we wanted, but we couldn’t give up all of the sanctions for that.”

Speaking live from Hanoi, Vietnam Tuesday night, Sean Hannity weighed-in on the upcoming historic summit between the President and Kim Jong Un; saying the mainstream media is openly rooting for Trump to fail on the world stage.
“Two years ago, the hate-Trump media mob told the American people the President was leading us to nuclear annihilation in response to North Korean hostilities, rockets, threatening Guam, threatening the continental US,” said Hannity.
“America’s Left told you the sky was falling… You might have noticed there’s no nuclear holocaust. In fact, quite the opposite. Despite all the success, the hate-Trump media mob and Democrats are rooting for Trump to fail,” he added.
