President Trump told a press conference in JW Marriott Hotel: “It wasn’t a good thing to be signing anything”, “sometimes you have to walk.” He also thanked the Vietnamese government and people for treating them so well.

The White House said Thursday that US President Donald Trump and DPRK Chairman Kim Jong-un had a “very good and constructive” meeting in Hanoi. “The two leaders discussed various ways to advance denuclearization and economic driven concepts.” White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders said: “No agreement was reached at this time, but their respective teams look forward to meeting in the future.”

President Trump and Chairman Kim abruptly concluded their talks earlier than originally scheduled, leaving the Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi for their respective hotels. They did not have lunch together as scheduled.
