Kim stunned by Hanoi summit humiliation
|Hanoi, Vietnam (CNN)North Korean leader Kim Jong Un exuded confidence when he arrived in Vietnam on his heavily armored luxury train Wednesday, ahead of his summit with US President Donald Trump.
But as he departed Saturday, waving to crowds before boarding that train empty handed, the cracks in that confidence had been exposed.
“(Kim) did not have a backup plan,” a source familiar with the denuclearization talks tells CNN. “He came to Hanoi very confident and fully expecting a declaration to be signed.”
