The summit between U.S. President Donald Trump and the North Korean leader Kim Jong-un broke down after their long-awaited talks ended with no agreement.
The failure came after the U.S. refused North Koreas demand for the removal of the economic sanctions its imposed on the Asian country. The inconclusive summit is a setback for Trump, as his administration has been trying to signify the rapprochement gamble with Pyongyang as a momentous policy achievement.
