Trump had previously distanced himself in public comments from Bolton's approach and said a"Libya model" would be employed only if a deal could not be reached. After the summit, a North Korean official accused Bolton and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo of"gangster-like" demands, saying Pyongyang was considering suspending talks with the United States and may rethink its self-imposed ban on missile and nuclear tests.
The summit in Vietnam's capital was cut short after Trump and Kim failed to reach a deal on the extent of economic sanctions relief for North Korea in exchange for its steps to give up its nuclear program. "He would be there, he would be running his country, his country would be very rich," Trump said at the time.The Hanoi document was presented in what U.S. officials have said was an attempt by Trump to secure a"big deal" under which all sanctions would be lifted if North Korea gave up all of its weapons.
