Trump claims Cohen hearing may have hurt North Korea summit
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump is suggesting that a congressional hearing Democrats arranged with his former personal attorney may have contributed to his failure to reach a summit deal with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
Trump left his summit in Vietnam with the North Korean leader last week without reaching an agreement after Trump said he wasn’t willing to give in to Kim’s demand to lift U.S. sanctions at this time. He lashed out at Democrats in a tweet on Sunday, criticizing their decision to hold the hearing featuring his former lawyer, Michael Cohen, while he was overseas.
===========================================
Trump's summit failure was due to his cockiness & the lack of advance preparation by his staff. These types of summits are usually set in place before the final meeting. This one wasn't. Now he's looking for someone to blame for his poor performance.
