This morning, President Donald J. Trump has sent a letter cancelling a scheduled meeting with North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un.

Trump said it was a “missed opportunity” and “truly sad moment in history.”

“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 meeting,” Trump’s letter says.

Yesterday, Kim Jong-un threatened a “nuclear-to-nuclear” confrontation with the United States if the summit was cancelled.

“You talk about your nuclear capabilities, but ours are so massive and powerful that I pray to God they will never have to be used,” Trump wrote.
