Talks between the US president and Kim Jong Un abruptly collapsed in Hanoi earlier this year.
The de-nuclearisation of the Korean peninsula was top of the agenda at the first meeting between North Korea and Russia since 2011. Vladimir Putin highlighted that both Russia and the US want North Korea to abandon its nuclear weapons, while Kim Jong Un asked for security guarantees in order to do so. The leaders also discussed sanctions, which are currently affecting both countries.
President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un ended their second summit early after they could not agree to terms for denuclearisation. Trump said in a press conference that North Korea wanted an end to all sanctions, something the US was not willing to do. Trump said he “walked” from the negotiation but is hopeful the two countries will progress towards meaningful change.
If these talks are to mean anything, the goal must be peace – which can only be achieved when people on both sides of the Korean border can live without fear
The US President is to meet Kim Jong-un in Vietnam.
Not only will ripping up the agreement encourage the US and Russia to grow their stockpiles, other countries will become nuclear active
