Cancels Singapore summit with Kim Jong Un by public letter

Trump released a letter abruptly canceling the planned June 12 Singapore summit with North Korea, citing "tremendous anger and open hostility" and boasting that U.S. nuclear forces are "so massive and powerful." The unilateral reversal blindsided allies, undercut diplomatic groundwork, and used nuclear saber-rattling in an official communication.

"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." — Open letter to Kim Jong Un canceling June 12 summit, dated May 24, 2018
