May 24, 2018  •  Post A Comment

“President Donald Trump will not meet North Korean leader Kim Jong Un next month, he announced in a letter to Kim released by the White House Thursday morning, scrapping plans for what would have been a historic diplomatic summit,” CNN reports.

The report quotes Trump’s letter saying: “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. 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.”

CNN adds: “Trump withdrew from the summit after a North Korean vice minister of foreign affairs slammed Vice President Mike Pence on Wednesday as a ‘political dummy,’ the latest harshly worded statement from Pyongyang.

“Trump and his aides were infuriated by the statement and wanted to respond forcefully, multiple people familiar with the situation told CNN. The specific and personal targeting of Pence is what irked US officials, three people familiar with the matter said.”

  1. Good for Trump for being willing to stand up to North Korea, knowing he will take total heat from the press.

  2. Trump is a bully and fraud and didn’t stand up to anyone. He insults and belittles everyone who isn’t on his payroll and then wonders why others want nothing to do with him. Kim played him for the fool he is and then stayed tough. He is laughing his ass off now at the orange doofus!!!
