U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday called off his planned June 12 summit meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in a letter released by the White House.
“I was very much looking forward to being there with you,” Trump said in the letter. “Sadly, based on the tremendous anger and open hostility displayed in your most recent statement, I feel it is inappropriate, at this time, to have this long-planned meeting.”
He said he had made the decision based on the "tremendous anger and open hostility" in a recent North Korean statement.
Mr Trump said it would be "inappropriate" to hold the summit as scheduled in Singapore on 12 June.
In a letter to Mr Kim, he said he was very much looking forward to meeting him "some day".
