BREAKING: President Trump says "sometimes you have to walk" in describing not reaching a deal to sign with the North Koreans at the second Trump-Kim summit; describes Kim Jong Un as "quite a guy and quite a character." nbcnews.com/news/world/tru…
President Trump acknowledges that "it was the sanctions" -- North Koreans wanting to have them lifted -- which made the US walk away from the Hanoi summit without a deal.
Sec. Pompeo: "We didn't get to something that ultimately made sense for the United States of America ... We asked [Kim Jong Un] to do more, he was unprepared to do that."

President Trump says it's "a terrible thing" that the Michael Cohen congressional hearing was held during his summit with North Korea in Vietnam, and should have been held after the summit; focuses on continuing to describe his view that the investigation is "the Russian hoax."
Asked if it was premature to have a deal-signing ceremony scheduled ahead of a deal being reached, President Trump again says that sometimes you have to be willing to walk away, and he'd much rather "do it right" vs fast.
President Trump says "we felt it wasn’t appropriate to sign an agreement today" with North Korea, but insists "we could have."

President Trump acknowledges that the dismantling of North Korea's Yongbyon nuclear complex was discussed during the summit, but the potential concession was not enough to lift sanctions, which, President Trump says, was wanted by the North Koreans.

Sen. Portman of Ohio, Otto Warmbier's home state, releases statement in response to President Trump's comments:

“We must remember Otto, and we should never let North Korea off the hook for what they did to him.”
Former UN Amb. Haley: "Americans know the cruelty that was placed on Otto Warmbier by the North Korean regime. Our hearts are with the Warmbier family for their strength and courage. We will never forget Otto."
Pelosi on Trump's Otto Warmbier comments:

"The president has believed Putin as opposed to believing his own intelligence leadership ... It's strange. And I don't know, there's something wrong with Putin, Kim Jong Un – in my view, thugs – that the president chooses to believe."
