North Korea Disputes Trump's Claim Kim Sought an End to All Sanctions

The transcript covers a report from Hanoi where North Korean officials presented a different perspective on the breakdown of talks with President Trump. They proposed dismantling some nuclear capabilities in exchange for lifting some UN sanctions, contrary to Trump's earlier statements. The rare press conference, held at the Melia Hotel, did not address human rights issues or Otto Warmbier. The Deputy Foreign Minister expressed doubt about the US's willingness to continue negotiations, while Foreign Minister Re insisted their proposal was the only viable solution. President Trump was en route to the US, likely unaware of these developments.
