With only days to go before the scheduled release of Bob Woodward's new book about U.S. President Donald Trump, .more inside stories have been revealed from the 2019 Hanoi summit.
Also, according to the book, North Korean leader tells Trump "everything"...even how Kim killed his uncle.
Choi Jeong-yoon has more.
It has been revealed that President Trump asked North Korea to shut down all of its five nuclear sites during the 2019 Hanoi summit, which ended without reaching a deal.
Citing Bob Woodward's forthcoming book "Rage"...the AFP news agency reported that the critical reason behind the no-deal was due to the number of nuclear facilities Trump demanded Pyeongyang close.
According to the book, Trump reportedly said closing one to four sites was not helpful, but five would work.
Though North Korean leader Kim Jong-un insisted the facility in Yongbyon was the biggest of them, Trump countered by saying it's the oldest, and with no other offers from both sides, the summit ended with no deal.
Excerpts from the book also include Kim telling Trump about killing his uncle.
According to Woodward, Trump boasted that Kim (quote) “tells him everything” and even gave the president a graphic account of how Kim had his own uncle assassinated.
Trump has claimed that the headless body of Kim Jong Un's executed uncle was displayed to senior North Korean officials...as a deterrent.
Jang Song Thaek, the North Korean leader's uncle and once a hugely powerful figure within the regime, was purged for treason and corruption in 2013, in what was widely seen as Kim asserting his authority.
Trump's account - apparently intended as a demonstration of his close relationship with Kim - is the first from any senior official to mention decapitation.
