Editor's note: United States President Donald Trump and Democratic People's Republic of Korea top leader Kim Jongun did not sign any deal at their second summit in Hanoi on Thursday.

That no agreements were signed between the US and the DPRK in Hanoi came as a surprise since expectations were high that the second Trump-Kim summit would yield at least a US-DPRK peace treaty, if not a pact on verifying the DPRK's dismantled nuclear facilities or establishing a US liaison office in Pyongyang, or an agreement on Washington partly lifting sanctions against Pyongyang.
