President Trump on Thursday cancelled the highly anticipated summit with North Korea that was set for next month, calling the talks “inappropriate” following the “hostility” displayed in the latest comments from dictator Kim Jong Un.
The move to pull out of the summit, slated to take place in Singapore on June 12, came after threats from Kim to call off the talks. In a letter to Kim on Thursday, Trump said the world, and North Korea, has lost a “great opportunity for lasting peace and great prosperity.”
“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 in a letter to Kim on Thursday. “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.”
North Korea for days has questioned whether the summit would go forward.
On Thursday, Vice Minister of the North Korean Foreign Ministry, Choe Son Hui, also said that whether the U.S. “will meet us at a meeting room or encounter us at nuclear-to-nuclear showdown is entirely dependent upon the decision and behavior of the United States,” according to South Korea’s Yonhap News Agency.
The official also insulted Vice President Pence after he said North Korea had asked for the meeting.
“As a person involved in the U.S. affairs, I cannot suppress my surprise at such ignorant and stupid remarks gushing out from the mouth of the U.S. vice president,” Choe reportedly said.
Officials, though, told Fox News that it was the threat of nuclear war — not the insult to Pence — that led to the summit pullout.
“You talk about your nuclear capabilities, but ours are so massive and powerful that I pray to God they will never have to be used,” Trump wrote to Kim. “If you change your mind having to do with this most important summit, please do not hesitate to call me or write. The world, and North Korea in particular, has lost a great opportunity for lasting peace and great prosperity and wealth.”
Trump added: “This missed opportunity is truly a sad moment in history.”
What a scam!!!!!!!!
never was going to happen ..
back to the same games
SSDD
And the soap opera continues…… tune in tomorrow for the next episode of “Days Of Our Shortened Lives”.
Another drama production, just like the fake elections.
Tramp was bitching about what North Korea said, Tramp should look in a mirror and listen to what he said about North Korea
I’d still bet the show will end with kumbaya, Trump will get Nobel Prize, and more Middle Easterners will be quietly exterminated, as Putin romances with Nutandyahoo and Trump to bring “peace” (Odid Yinon) to the ME.
Fake left- go right-
MIGA! baby!!!

Ever listened to the MSM ‘newscasters’ in this country?

The rest of the treasonous politicians in this country are on a par, as well.
