ANKARA (AA) - U.S. President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un early Thursday unexpectedly cut short their summit in Hanoi, Vietnam without an agreement.

Meeting for their second summit in less than a year, the two leaders cancelled their working lunch, reported South Korean news agency Yonhap.

The signing ceremony was cancelled, and Trump moved his post-summit press conference two hours ahead to 2 p.m. local time (0700GMT).

A statement by White House spokesperson Sarah Sanders said that the two leaders “discussed various ways to advance denuclearization and economic-driven concepts.”

“No agreement was reached this time,” she said, adding: “Their respective teams look forward to meeting in future.”
