WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump said on Sunday that the congressional questioning last week of his former lawyer may have contributed to the failure of his summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un - even as his national security adviser claimed the Hanoi...

He said the issue was whether North Korea would accept what Mr Trump called"the big deal" - denuclearising completely - or something less,"which was unacceptable to us".

According to senior US officials, leading up to the Hanoi summit, the North Koreans had demanded the lifting of all United Nations economic sanctions imposed on Pyongyang since March 2016. Mr Bolton's evocation of progress was dismissed by leading Democrats, however, including House Intelligence Committee chairman Adam Schiff, who described the Hanoi meeting as a"spectacular failure".

Much of the criticism of the summit was sparked by Mr Trump's remarks on the case of a US student tortured and left in a coma in North Korea. He said he believed Mr Kim's claim that he did not know what happened to Mr Otto Warmbier, who died at age 22 days after being sent back to the US in 2017.
