Former U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said President Donald Trump’s summit with North Korea leader Kim Jong Un in June about the country’s nuclear threat was “doomed to failure” because of a lack of preparation beforehand.
“I’m very worried about the situation because frankly, I think we have a failed summit on our hands right now,” Panetta said on ABC’s “This Week” on Sunday.
