North Korea only sought the lifting of 5 sanctions enacted in 2016-17 as a first step and gesture of good will – not all sanctions as stated by Trump.

Out of 11 United Nations sanctions, North Korea had sought the lifting of five sanctions made in 2016-2017.
By contrast, Trump had told reporters at a press conference earlier in Hanoi that a working lunch and signing ceremony had been cancelled because North Korea wanted sanctions lifted in their entirety.

The Korea Centre said the sanctions North Korea had asked to be lifted cover the ban on North Korean exports such as coal, textiles and seafood, which were important sources of foreign currency for the regime.

US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo had said: “We asked him to do more and he was just unprepared to do that.”
