'Missed opportunity': Trump cancels June 12 summit


Donald Trump calls off June 12 summit with North Korea's Kim Jong-un




SEOUL: US President Donald Trump on Thursday called off a planned summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, even after North Korea followed through on a pledge to blow up tunnels at its nuclear test site.

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, I feel it would be inappropriate, at this time, to have this long- planned meeting."


Trump called it "a missed opportunity" and said someday he still hoped to meet Kim.
