WASHINGTON (AP) – The Latest on President Donald Trump canceling planned summit with North Korea(all times local):
10:05 a.m.
President Donald Trump says North Korea’s leader should not "hesitate to call me or write" if he changes his mind about their now-canceled summit.
Trump announced Thursday that he had canceled a summit planned with Kim Jong Un in Singapore on June 12.
Trump released a letter to Kim saying his decision was based on "the tremendous anger and open hostility" in Kim’s most recent statement. Trump did not explain what triggered his decision.
But in a statement, the North Korean government had referred to Vice President Mike Pence as a "political dummy" and said it is just as ready to meet in a nuclear confrontation as at the negotiating table.
But Trump tells Kim "please do not hesitate to call me or write" should he change his mind about a one-on-one meeting.
