HANOI, Vietnam— President Trump’s denuclearization summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un was being cut short Thursday and a planned signing ceremony was in doubt on the second day of talks.
White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said negotiations were ongoing but would wrap up at the summit site earlier than planned.
The White House acknowledged a “program change” and moved up a press conference with Mr. Trump by two hours.
Earlier Thursday, the president said they were having “very good discussions.”
Asked if he was serious about giving up his weapons program, Mr. Kim said, “If I was not, I wouldn’t be here.”
Another reporter asked if he was willing to take concrete steps to denuclearize. Mr. Kim said: “That’s what we are discussing right now.”
