DOING BUSINESS

Expect Trump to take a lot of crap for this perfectly reasonable response.

"Sometimes you have to walk, and this was just one of those times," President Trump said Thursday after his second summit with Kim Jong Un abruptly collapsed. A working lunch and the signing of a joint agreement were scrapped after talks fell apart on the summit's second day, causing confusion among the press corps, the New York Times reports. "It was about the sanctions basically," Trump said at a press conference. "They wanted the sanctions lifted in their entirety and we couldn’t do that." Trump said Kim had been willing to dismantle some of the country's nuclear infrastructure in return for sanctions being lifted, but wanted to leave other parts of the program intact, the Guardian reports.

If you want to know why, Google "Reagan, Gorbachev, Reykjavik."

I agree. The Kim dynasty has been able to roll a long series of US administrations. Trump wouldn't roll. We'll see where it goes.
