Trump cancels summit with North Korea due to 'open hostility' - Washington Times:

“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,” Mr. Trump told the North Korean leader.
The summit was thrown into doubt in recent days due to increasingly hostile comments from North Korean officials. On Wednesday night, a top North Korean diplomat called Vice President Mike Pence a “political dummy” and warned that the U.S. could face a “nuclear-to-nuclear showdown” if the administration didn’t give Pyongyang more respect.
Mr. Trump told Mr. Kim that he was “very much looking forward to being there with you” in Singapore."
