'We once again let the US know that we are open to solving problems in every way possible,' he said. The US president drew a line in a letter to Kim Jong-un Thursday through a historic meeting, to be held on 12 June in Singapore.

According to North Korea, the cancellation of Trump does not correspond to 'the wish of the world. 'According to the statement of the North Korean regime, a summit is necessary to improve the serious enemy relations between the countries. 'The announcement that the summit was canceled came to us as a total surprise. We can not say anything else than that we find it very sad, 'said Kim Kye Gwan.
