North Korea is disputing the account by US President Donald Trump, of why the summit between Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un collapsed.
North Korea's foreign minister says they demanded only partial sanctions relief in exchange for shuttering its main nuclear complex, and that the discussions collapsed after the U.S. demanded further disarmament steps.
That contradicted the explanation by Trump, who earlier told reporters that North Korea had demanded a full removal of sanctions in exchange for closing the Yongbyon nuclear facility.
