US President Donald Trump and South Korean President Moon Jae-in today discussed North Korea’s recent threats to cancel its unprecedented summit with Washington.
After weeks of warm words and diplomatic backslapping, Pyongyang abruptly threatened to pull out of the planned summit next month because of US demands for unilateral nuclear abandonment.
North Korea also cancelled at the last minute a high-level meeting with the South, protesting joint military drills between Seoul and Washington. North Korean Presidential office said in a statement that in a phone conversation today, Trump and Moon exchanged views on various actions taken by North Korea recently.
The statement said, the two leaders agreed to work closely for the success of the landmark summit in Singapore on Jun 12, which would be the first meeting between a sitting US President and a North Korean leader.
