Trump cancels Singapore summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un

Posted on 05/24/2018 6:52:24 AM PDT by bryan999

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.

BOOM, doing the right thing again. Now wait for the predictable response from the Left Wing activist media criticizing Trump.

Walk away when warranted, but leave the door open. Art of the Deal.

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.

Trump called Little Rocket Man’s bluff and pulled the plug.

Works for me. The Norkies are just the middlemen.

Fine with me. Rocket Man's attitude has been deteriorating in recent weeks. He needs a shot of reality.

POTUS got the hostages and some demolition at the NK nuke site. The Norks/Chicoms got nothing. Ha ha.

Not surprised. I think it would be better to have the summer at some place closer to North Korea. I’d suggest maybe Japan, at Shimonoseki.

I predict success with this approach.

I seem to recall trump saying that the threat posed by North Korea will be removed one way or the other.

Looks like Kim is headed towards “the other”.

This is great political theater from Trump. We haven’t had a POTUS like this since Reagan.

No doubt. China will regret this.

How about Nagasaki or Hiroshima, Japan as part of a history lesson too.
