Kremlin sees no flexibility at Trump-Kim summit

The Kremlin will analyze the outcome of US President Donald Trump’s meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, but now it states that the practice of small mutual steps towards each other is not working, Presidential Spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Thursday.

Moscow is receiving first preliminary information about the outcome of Trump’s talks with Kim. “Certainly, it needs to be further analyzed,” Peskov told reporters.

“Now there is such an impression that the practice of small mutual steps towards each other and showing flexibility towards each other based on these steps is still not working. As far as we understand, the lack of this practice and unreasonably high demands certainly may lead to creating troublesome moments in the negotiating process,” Peskov stressed.
