Connecticut Democrat Chris Murphy told The Atlantic Trump 'went for the whole enchilada and lost badly.'
The White House is hoping that the failure of the Hanoi summit between President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un could pave the way for lower-level talks to yield results, it has been reported.
Murphy pointed out that the U.S president walking away means that serious negotiations further down the chain can now take place because Kim “realized he couldn’t pull one over on Trump.” “So instead of immediately setting the table with some confidence-building measures, he went for the whole enchilada and lost badly.”
Until now, Trump has been brandishing his personal relationship with Kim as key to any successful negotiation but critics fear that this method has undercut the role of his advisers. Kim also is said to be reluctant to give his subordinates room to negotiate. However experts believe this all-or-nothing approach is doomed to fail. MIT nuclear expert Vipin Narang told Vox: “If we don’t move off this position, we have nowhere to go.
