Washington sources reported that when referring to a scheduled June 12 meeting with Kim in Singapore, Trump said in a letter to the North Korean leader "Sadly, based on the tremendous anger and open hostility displayed in your most recent statement, he feels it would be inappropriate, at this time, to have this long- planned meeting." Previously North Korea repeated a threat to pull out of the unprecedented summit with Trump next month and warned it was prepared for a nuclear showdown with Washington if necessary.
Meanwhile Vice Foreign Minister Choe Son Hui had called US Vice President Mike Pence a "political dummy" for comparing North Korea a "nuclear weapons state" to Libya, where Muammar Gaddafi gave up his unfinished nuclear development program, only to be later killed by NATO backed fighters.
Moreover as per report the apparent destruction of
what North Korea says is its only nuclear test site has been widely welcomed as
a positive, if largely symbolic, step toward resolving tension over its
weapons. Further the North Korean leader Kim has declared his nuclear force
complete, amid speculation the site was obsolete anyway.
