Smiling and holding up his clasped hands in a victorious pose, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un on Saturday boarded his private train at the Vietnam-China border for a 60-plus-hour ride home, ending a trip to Vietnam that saw a summit breakdown with President Donald Trump.He spent his last day in Hanoi laying large red-and-yellow wreaths at a war memorial and at the mausoleum of national hero Ho Chi Minh, surrounded by Vietnamese soldiers in crisp white uniforms and his own entourage of top North Korean officials. At the border, he got out of his armored limousine and clasped his hands, waving to a crowd of people cheering his departure.Since Trump flew home to Washington, Kim has stepped assuredly into the spotlight, keen to show himself as a poised leader taking his rightful place on the international stage. He met Friday with President Nguyen Phu Trong, the country's top leader and Communist Party chief, grinning broadly as he was feted by top officials and escorted down a red carpet.As Kim met with officials in Hanoi, the United States and North Korea have both been spinning their versions of what happened during one of the most high-profile diplomatic collapses in recent years.But some experts believe that Kim, by standing shoulder-to-shoulder with Trump at a summit that captivated many around the world, will have one sure win: He'll be able to portray himself to his people and supporters as the charismatic head of a nuclear-armed power, not an international pariah that starves its citizens so it can build nukes and missiles.On Saturday, Kim, his trademark high-and-tight pompadour a bit disheveled, walked slowly behind a wreath with his name on it and a message that said, "I mourn the heroes and patriotic martyrs," as it was taken to the Monument to War Heroes and Martyrs. He also oversaw the presentation of a large wreath at the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, where he bowed and walked inside.Talks between Kim and Trump broke down on Thursday, the second day of their two-day summit, in a dispute over how much sanctions relief Washington should provide Pyongyang in return for nuclear disarmament steps. Despite a senior North Korean official's suggestion — in a rushed, middle-of-the-night news conference called to dispute Trump's version of the summit's end — that Kim may have "lost the will" for diplomacy, the North Korean leader seems to have emerged from the diplomatic wreckage as a winner.Kim answered questions with humor and ease when confronted by an aggressive international media contingent here. And, crucially for his image at home, he stood firm on his demands for the relief of sanctions imposed over a nuclear program North Korea says it built in the face of unrelenting U.S. hostility meant to end its leadership.Kim, as he considers his next move after Hanoi, will be backed by state-controlled media that were already busy portraying the summit as a victory for their leader, saying Kim and Trump "appreciated that the second meeting in Hanoi offered an important occasion for deepening mutual respect and trust and putting the relations between the two countries on a new stage."North Korea said it had asked for partial sanctions relief in return for closing its main nuclear site at Yongbyon, an important nuclear-fuel production facility but not the only place the North is believed to make bomb fuel.The United States also has been spinning the summit breakdown, with senior officials saying that North Korea wanted billions of dollars in sanctions relief in return for only partial dismantlement of Yongbyon, and demanded the North scrap more of its nuclear program for such a high level of concessions.It's unclear what will come next: Working-level meetings among experts to close the negotiating gap? Another summit? Or will Trump, consumed with controversy in Washington and burned by the failure in Hanoi, lose interest?The worst-case scenario would be a return to the personal insults and threats of war between Tr...

On this edition of Encounter, Mike Fuchs, of the Center for American Progress, and Richard Johnson, from the Nuclear Threat Initiative, join guest-host Jeff Young to analyze and review the recent summit between US President Donald Trump and North Korean Leader Kim Jong Un.

US President Donald Trump and North Korea's Kim Jong Un abruptly cut short their second summit today without reaching an agreement, a stunning collapse of talks that caused both leaders to leave their Vietnam meeting early and cancel a planned signing ceremony.Trump says they left the meeting with a strong and friendly relationship, despite disagreeing on the issue of US-led sanctions.But Leeds University expert Aidan Foster-Carter told Kate Hawkesby that's probably not the case."We really, really need to hear the North Korean version of things and we have not heard that yet.""We know that the summit broke up and it seems to me to be a bit of a disaster, clearly not what anybody wanted," he said."We have one account, a plausible account of what happened but we need to hear what the other side said. I'm slightly worried that North Korea might be very cross."However, he acknowledged that it is difficult to trust what North Korea says but he said clearly something has gone wrong."In normal diplomacy, which we don't really get in the Trump era, you would have had all of this thrashed out in working meeting long before it got to the circumstances of a vast summit, in a third country that's put out a vast amount of effort for this to happen...and all for what?"Foster-Carter said dealing with North Korea is difficult but the US needs to "get their act together" if the negotiators are to go forward.

U.S. President Donald Trump has touched down in Hanoi, Vietnam ahead of a meeting  with North Korean President Kim Jong Un. The summit, which is due to take place on Wednesday and Thursday, follows a historic first round of talks in Singapore last year. The two leaders are expected to discuss progress towards ridding the Korean peninsula of nuclear weapons. One issue that is not on the agenda? Human rights. A recent UN Commission of Inquiry Report on human rights in North Korea found that people in North Korea live under severe oppression. The UN found evidence of concentration camps, famine deaths, rampant sexual violence, and no freedom of speech or religion. Why is President Donald Trump not addressing these human rights violations during his historic meeting with Kim Jong Un? Guest: Lindsay Lloyd Director of the Human Freedom Initiative at the George W. Bush Institute

The U.S. and North Korea are moving ahead with plans for President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un to meet. But what happens after the meeting? Is there enough trust between the two to facilitate a nuclear deal? It’s a big question, especially considering the U.S. has just pulled out of a similar deal with Iran.
