Vietnam – The table was set, with flowers in vases and menus tucked inside white napkins. Water glasses were filled. Wicker fans provided a cool breeze.
But nobody came.
“Schedule change,” White House press secretary Sarah Sanders announced.
That was the first indication something was up at President Donald Trump’s two-day summit with North Korea’s Kim Jong Un.
But what did it mean for the prospects of denuclearising?
Reporters and photographers assembled to record the leaders’ lunchtime chitchat were hustled out of the room and eventually from building in anticipation of Trump’s departure.
Speculation swirled.
Was Trump staging an exit as a negotiating tactic to put more pressure on Kim? Might the two leaders appear at a joint news conference to announce progress toward a deal?
Those theories soon proved meritless.
