US President Donald Trump considers the summit meeting with the North Korean ruler Kim Jong Un despite the lack of results as a success. The talks have been very productive, Trump said yesterday at a meeting of conservative activists and politicians in Oxon Hill, Washington.
„We have made great progress. We will continue to make progress, „he said. „We have learned a lot in the past few days.“ The relationship between the two countries looks very good. In the end, however, there was no joint agreement, „because the deal was not a deal that was acceptable to me.“ And he did not want to agree anything, just to come up with some sort of agreement.
The Trump and Kim summit in Vietnam ended on Thursday without a final statement. Both sides did not come closer to the central question of the dismantling of the North Korean nuclear weapons and later disagreed over the reasons for it. In the US, there was also a stir that Trump Kim had taken refuge in the case of the deceased US student Otto Warmbier.
Verbal attacks on Democrats
Trump also used the events to engage his fans in the imminent US presidential campaign of 2020. „These are lousy politicians, and they make lousy politics,“ said Trump with a view to the Democrats. With their „radical“ left-wing plans, the Democrats wanted to destroy the US economy. „America will never be a socialist country,“ said Trump.
Trump also again lamented a democrat-driven „witch hunt“ on him. There have been no collusion with Russia in the past 2016 presidential campaign, he said. But the Democrats did not want to accept that. „These people are sick,“ Trump said.
