"It was about the sanctions," Trump said. "Basically, they wanted the sanctions lifted in their entirety, and we couldn’t do that. They were willing to denuke a large portion of the areas that we wanted, but we couldn’t give up all of the sanctions for that."
How could any country be expected to compromise with someone who continues to wage economic war on them?
This might possibly be about rocket engines - Israel doesn't want North Korea selling them to Iran. Venezuela might be about Iran as well - an attempt to rehabilitate interventionism and the entire neocon program. As Kushner recently revealed jedis are obsessed with Iran and expanding Israel into some sort of weird prophesied middle eastern empire.

Easy...if your country is dying because of it at some point you have to yield...or die..and it's not singularly the US it's pretty much the world bar a couple of counties who throw him a bone.
The US is holding all the cards...they dictate the play.
Well... Sanctions are like poverty, they're good for the soul. They make you tougher as a nation. In fact, if you can't handle some sanctions, it just shows that your country is not a self sustaining one. It relies too much on foreign influence.
its like how script writters keep a characters fate hanging thru the episodes to keep them in the show.
if peace agreement is reached now itll be season finale in many aspects and trumps character role would be reduced. if you want to know how this korea thing turns out, stay tuned, same time, same place,
next week.

I don't even know why they bothered meeting; there's no deal to be made.
NK knows that the US cannot be trusted to adhere to any agreement, meaning that the endgame of 'denuclearisation' is worthless because then there'd be nothing stopping the US from attacking at will.
I'm guessing this was more of a gesture of goodwill between NK and SK than anything else.

Doesn't Iran have more sophisticated rocket tech anyway? Most of NK's missiles are still (mostly) old soviet designs

that's just it, NK wants a token of goodwill, ie. partial sanctions withdrawal for the shutdown of major facilities. The US is saying they'll only consider removing sanctions once the nuclear shutdown is complete.
Don't forget that NK was burned by this before - there was a similar deal in the 90s-2000s; after NK began destroying it's nuclear program the US tacked on the absurd condition that all of their military sites needed to be inspected for compliance which torpedoed the deal.
