===== A news conference from North Korea =====
Hours later, in a rare move, North Korean officials called a news conference. Ri offered a different account of his country's position compared to Trump: North Korea had only proposed a partial lifting of sanctions. He stated that North Korea wanted 5 out of 11 sanctions originally imposed by the United Nations in 2016 and 2017 lifted; in exchange, Ri said that North Korea offered to "permanently and completely" dismantle its [[Yongbyon Nuclear Scientific Research Center|primary nuclear facility in Yongbyon]], and that American experts would be allowed to observe. Ri also quoted North Korea as proposing to put in writing that the country would end all nuclear tests and long-range missile tests. He said that the North Koreans saw that no agreement could be made after the United States demanded one further measure in addition to destroying the Yongbyon nuclear facility. Lastly, Ri concluded that North Korea's proposal would not be changed.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Rucker |first1=Philip |last2=Denyer |first2=Simon |last3=Nakamura |first3=David |title=North Korea's foreign minister says country seeks only partial sanctions relief |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-and-kim-downplay-expectations-as-key-summit-talks-begin/2019/02/28/d77d752c-3ac5-11e9-aaae-69364b2ed137_story.html |newspaper=[[The Washington Post]] |access-date=2 March 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190301005010/https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-and-kim-downplay-expectations-as-key-summit-talks-begin/2019/02/28/d77d752c-3ac5-11e9-aaae-69364b2ed137_story.html |archive-date=March 1, 2019 |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last1=Talmadge |first1=Eric |title=Officials say Trump overstated Kim's demand on sanctions |url=https://apnews.com/85250b96c38b4a238139e753302d9742 |publisher=[[Associated Press]] |access-date=2 March 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190302145627/https://apnews.com/85250b96c38b4a238139e753302d9742 |archive-date=March 2, 2019 |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite news |last1=Shin |first1=Hyonhee |last2=Brice |first2=Makini |last3=Alexander |first3=David |title=North Korea offered proposal but U.S. asked for more at summit: foreign minister |date=February 28, 2019 |url=https://www.reuters.com/article/us-northkorea-usa-conference-idUSKCN1QH2BZ |work=[[Reuters]] |access-date=2 March 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190301145306/https://www.reuters.com/article/us-northkorea-usa-conference-idUSKCN1QH2BZ |archive-date=March 1, 2019 |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2019/02/28/world/asia/trump-kim-vietnam-summit.html|title=Trump's Talks With Kim Jong-un Collapse, and Both Sides Point Fingers|first=Edward|last=Wong|date=February 28, 2019|work=[[The New York Times]]|access-date=March 1, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190228222211/https://www.nytimes.com/2019/02/28/world/asia/trump-kim-vietnam-summit.html|archive-date=February 28, 2019|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite webnews |last1=Lee |first1=Jihye |last2=Lee |first2=Youkyung |last3=Wadhams |first3=Nick |title=North Korea's Kim Vows to Meet Trump Again After Summit Collapse |newspaper=Bloomberg |date=February 28, 2019 |url=https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-02-28/north-korea-said-to-plan-rare-news-briefing-on-trump-kim-summit |publisher=[[Bloomberg News]] |access-date=2 March 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190302112253/https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-02-28/north-korea-said-to-plan-rare-news-briefing-on-trump-kim-summit |archive-date=March 2, 2019 |url-status=live }}</ref> According to ''[[NK News]]'', Vice Foreign Minister [[Choe Son-hui]] made the proposal to dismantle Yongbyon just before the talks collapsed, but the U.S. team walked out when Choe was unable to give details.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Choe Son Hui promoted to first vice foreign minister, state media confirms |last=O'Carroll |first=Chad |work=NK News |date=12 April 2019 |access-date=12 April 2019 |url=https://www.nknews.org/2019/04/choe-son-hui-promoted-to-first-vice-foreign-minister-state-media-confirms/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190412231125/https://www.nknews.org/2019/04/choe-son-hui-promoted-to-first-vice-foreign-minister-state-media-confirms/ |archive-date=April 12, 2019 |url-status=live }}</ref>

Line 157:
Hwang Jihwan, a Professor in the Department of International Relations at the [[University of Seoul]], believed the no-deal outcome of the Hanoi summit was because both parties asked for more than what each could give. He believed that no deal is better than a bad deal, and suggested that the two leaders should aim for realistic goals in future summits; asking for huge deals from each other would not yield favorable results for both sides, but working on smaller, workable agreements that would be meritorious for both countries was better than leaving the negotiation table empty-handed.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://nationalinterest.org/blog/korea-watch/hanoi-summit-%E2%80%93-we-asked-jihwan-hwang-what-happens-next-us-north-korea-relations|title=The Hanoi Summit – We Asked Jihwan Hwang What Happens Next in U.S.-North Korea Relations|first=Jihwan|last=Hwang|date=March 12, 2019|website=The National Interest|access-date=April 1, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190401175430/https://nationalinterest.org/blog/korea-watch/hanoi-summit-%25E2%2580%2593-we-asked-jihwan-hwang-what-happens-next-us-north-korea-relations|archive-date=April 1, 2019|url-status=live}}</ref>
