Clearing the fog: How Reuters covered the ups and downs of the TrumpKimSummit Our latest ReutersBackstory by SoyoungSays and pearswick
SEOUL/HANOI - North Korea’s leadership once said its decisions should be “cloaked in fog”, Vietnam’s ruling party keeps a tight rein on domestic media, and U.S. President Donald Trump relishes keeping the press guessing.
Despite Trump announcing that he would meet Kim in Vietnam, the city was not specified until less than three weeks before the event. Quoting sources with direct knowledge of security and logistics planning, Reuters broke news that Kim would come to Hanoi for a state visit, indicating that the capital was the likeliest site for the summit.
Reuters was able to capture a unique moment of North Korean and U.S. staffers getting ready together to roll out the red carpet for the two leaders, moments before key areas of the hotel were sealed off. Reuters correspondent Jeff Mason was traveling with the White House press pool, and asked Kim if he was ready to give up nuclear weapons.Trump responded: “That might be the best answer you’ve ever heard.”
But the White House later announced that Trump’s press conference had been advanced, signaling that the lunch and signing ceremony were off and that there was likely no agreement.
