Trump Calls off Date with Kim Jong-un
US President Donald J. Trump on May 24 abruptly called off a June 12
summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un. The highly anticipated
summit—one frequently touted by Trump himself—was to be held in
Singapore.
“I was very much looking forward to being there with you. 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,” Trump wrote to Kim. “Therefore, please let this letter serve to represent that the Singapore summit, for the good of both parties, but to the detriment of the world, will not take place.”
