President Donald Trump wrote a letter to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un saying that their planned summit next month in Singapore was cancelled.
The meeting, which would have marked the first face-to-face encounter between a sitting U.S. president and a North Korean leader, was set for June 12 in the southeastern Asian island city state.
"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 in the letter, which was released Thursday morning.

“We will neither beg the U.S. for dialogue nor take the trouble to persuade them if they do not want to sit together with us,” KCNA quoted her as saying. “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.”

“Trump is not happy with the Chicoms loosening their leash on Kim. POTUS is showing he’s not going to be a reactionary player in the Chicom’s theater, IMO.”
What are you talking about?
ChiComs are the ones who got this scuttled.

Trump knows Fat Boy damaged his nuke facility irreparably and now we hold all the cards. Not a time for saber rattling, Kim. You come with your hat in your hand.

And for the first time we got something (release of hostages) and they got nothing.
North Korean generals (perhaps): "We released the hostages and blew up our nuke site, and we got nothing in return. Foolish Dear Leader!"

Trump is in the news every single day.Yes, but all that Russia, Russia, Russia, collusion, collusion,, collusion is getting old and tired, while CNN/(P)MSNBC double down on it!

Pence possibly opened his pie hole (with orders from his deep state handlers) to antagonize/sabotage the possibility of the biggest diplomacy win of the last 30+ years. Notice how the uniparty ran by turd le Mc CONnell have been quiet recently...they are up to something bad.
