Trump pulled out of a highly anticipated summit meeting with Kim Jong-un on Thursday, stating to the North Korean leader “this missed opportunity is a truly sad moment in history.”
Trump later said the meeting with Kim Jong, that is schedules for June 12 in Singapore, could still happen, even as he renewed threats for military action against the North and promised to continue a campaign of economic pressure against Jong-un’s regime.
Trump made his announcement this morning in a letter to Kim Jong, in which Trump cited North Korea’s statements about about Vice President Mike Pence. Trump’s letter left open the possibility that a meeting could get back on track, though he put the onus to do that entirely on the North. “If you change your mind having to do with this most important summit,” he said to Mr. Kim, “please do not hesitate to call me or write.”
“I believe this is a tremendous setback for North Korea and, indeed for the world,” Trump said at a bill-signing ceremony later in the morning. He said he was waiting to see whether Mr. Kim would take “constructive dialogue and actions” toward relinquishing his nuclear arsenal.
He raised that possibility again later in the morning. “It’s possible that the existing summit could take place, or a summit at some later date,” he said. “Nobody should be anxious. We have to get it right.”
