US President Donald Trump has canceled the much anticipated peace summit with North Korean leader, Kim Jong Un.
The White House released a letter conveying the decision to Kim.
“Based on the tremendous hostility displayed in your most recent statement, I feel it is inappropriate, at this time, to have this long-planned meeting.” Trump said in the letter.
The cancellation was confirmed moments after North Korea appeared to have destroyed its nuclear test site as part of agreements reached towards the planned summit and for peace in the region.
It also comes after members of Kim’s team threatened a nuclear showdown with the US and called Vice President Mike Pence, a political dummy.
