US President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un met today for talks aimed at getting Pyongyang to curtail its decades-long push for nuclear weapons.
Both leaders on Wednesday promised a “great” outcome for the summit, even though experts agree their first meeting in Singapore eight months ago yielded few results. But political turmoil in Washington from a damning testimony by Trump’s former fixer Michael Cohen and escalating tensions between nuclear-armed neighbours India and Pakistan are threatening to overshadow the talks.
The summit ended early, though, with no deal. See how we covered it in real time below:

With their second summit fast approaching, speculation is growing that U.S. President Donald Trump may try to persuade Kim to commit to denuclearization by giving him something he wants more than almost anything else, an announcement of peace and an end to the Korean War. A combination of that strategy and the North’s repeated tests of missiles believed capable of delivering its nuclear weapons to the U.S. mainland are what brought the two countries to the negotiation table.
