Originally, that was when Trump and Kim were joining to sign a joint agreement, but according to the White House Press Secretary , “No agreement was reached.” You can watch Trump’s press conference here live. Trump’s appearance – in the middle of the night for most of America – comes hours after his former longtime personal lawyer Michael Cohen gave explosive testimony on Capitol Hill in which he called the President a “racist,” a “con man” and a “cheat.” Trump is hoping to convince the the 35-year-old dictator that moving away from his nuclear and missile programs could bring North Korea out of the cold.
