Trump cancels Singapore summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un

President Donald Trump has canceled his historic summit in Singapore with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un next month.

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 a letter to Kim, which was released Thursday morning.

Good.

Don’t play their game.

Trump is a master negotiator.

Kim knows that if he leaves the country to attend a summit in Singapore, there will likely be a military coup ousting him and his cronies. They will no doubt cut off his access to his foreign $ billions.

Ball’s in your court, Kim.

You can volley and hit it back, let it bounce on the ground before taking a cut, swing and miss altogether, or you can go all Tasmanian devil and charge the net.

Remember the relative size and effectiveness of the buttons that both the US and North Korea possess.
