스테판 해거드 Stephan Haggard 진단 "시간은 너무 짧았다. 미국은 영변 이외에 핵시설들을 폐기할 것을 요구했고, 북한이 더 양보하지 않는 한 북한이 원하는 부분적인 경제 제재조치 철폐도 수용하지 않았다.
이러한 북한과 미국의 '비핵화' 와 경제제재조치 해제에 대한 의견 차이 이외에도, 미국내 정치적 상황도 트럼프가 북한과의 협상에도 영향을 미친 것 같다.
트럼프와 러시아 연루설, 그리고 트럼프의 전임 변호사 마이클 코헨이 미국 의회 청문회에 출두한 것도 하노이 북미회담 분위기를 어수선하게 만들었지 않나 싶다.
Trump-Kim summit breaks down over sanctions

President Donald Trump: "Sometimes you have to walk"
A summit between US President Donald Trump and the North Korean leader Kim Jong-un ended with no agreement after the US refused North Korean demands for sanctions relief, President Trump said.
"It was all about the the sanctions," Mr Trump told reporters. "They wanted the sanctions lifted in their entirety and we couldn't do that."
The pair had been expected to announce progress on denuclearisation.
"Sometimes you have to walk and this was one of those times," Mr Trump said.
Speaking at a news conference after the summit, in the Vietnamese capital of Hanoi, Mr Trump said no plans had been made for a third summit.
The original White House programme for the day had planned for a "Joint Agreement Signing Ceremony" as well as a working lunch for the two leaders, but expectations were abruptly dashed with the cancellation of both.
What were the sticking points?
According to Mr Trump, Mr Kim made a significant offer - to dismantle all of the Yongbyon complex, the research and production facility at the heart of North Korea's nuclear programme.
But in return Mr Kim wanted all sanctions on North Korea lifted, something the US was not prepared to offer.
There was also a question over the network of facilities that extend beyond Yongbyon.
Last month, Stephen Biegun, the US State Department special representative for North Korea, said that North Korea had committed in pre-summit talks to destroy all of the nation's plutonium and uranium enrichment facilities, dependent on unspecified US measures in return.
Yongbyon is North Korea's only known source of plutonium but the country is believed to have at least two other facilities where uranium is enriched.
Those unspecified US measures appear now to have been complete sanctions relief, which Mr Trump would not offer.
The US president also suggested in his news conference that Mr Kim offered only the destruction of Yongbyon and not North Korea's entire nuclear apparatus.
The president said that when he raised the issue of a second enrichment facility apart from Yongbyon, the North Korean delegation was "surprised" by what the US knew.
Is this a setback for Trump?
The first summit between the two leaders, which took place in Singapore in June 2018, was criticised for having produced little in terms of substance, leading to anticipation that Mr Trump would push at the summit in Hanoi to produce an agreement on denuclearisation.
The failure will be viewed as a setback for self-styled dealmaker Mr Trump, who has talked up his historic rapprochement with Mr Kim as a significant policy achievement.
Mr Trump described the leaders' relationship as "very strong"
Some praised the president for walking away from the deal offered by North Korea. "This is not necessarily a failure," Stephan Haggard, a Korea expert at the University of California, San Diego, told the Reuters news agency.
"Time was short and it is clear that the administration wanted to get more in terms of additional sites outside Yongbyon and was unwilling to partially lift sanctions without more clarity or perhaps more concessions on them," Mr Haggard said.
The summit came as Mr Trump was facing increased scrutiny at home in the US over his business dealings and alleged ties to Russia, after his former lawyer and fixer Michael Cohen testified before Congress on Wednesday.
What does denuclearisation mean?
There is uncertainty around what exactly both sides mean by denuclearisation. Washington has previously said North Korea must unilaterally give up its all of its nuclear weapons and destroy all of its nuclear facilities before there could be any sanctions relief, but that condition is known to be a sticking point for the North Koreans.
It is thought Mr Kim views denuclearisation as a mutual arrangement in which the US withdraws its military presence on the Korean peninsula.

Asked at the news conference on Thursday what he meant by denuclearisation, Mr Trump said: "To me it's pretty obvious, we have to get rid of the nukes."
Mr Trump said the US delegation "had some options and this time we decided not to do any of the options". He added that he was "optimistic" and said the talks had left the two nations "in position to have a really good outcome" in the future.
Where does this leave the relationship?
The pair seemed to get along at the Hanoi summit, as they did at the previous summit in Singapore. They took a poolside stroll for the cameras, although neither appeared to say much.
Speaking after the talks in Hanoi, Mr Trump said Mr Kim was "quite a guy and quite a character" and described their relationship as "very strong".
Despite the lack of an agreement, the second summit would appear to build on a significant shift in the tenor of the relationship between the two nations. In late 2017, they were exchanging vitriolic threats, with Mr Trump calling Mr Kim "little rocket man" and Mr Kim calling Mr Trump a "mentally deranged dotard".
And end to war?
Before the summit, there was talk of a possible political declaration to end the 1950-53 Korean War, which finished with an armistice rather than a full peace treaty.
With the abrupt end of the talks, that peripheral goal seemed to have been kicked into the long grass.
