Hindustan Surkhiyan Desk:President Donald Trump today welcomed North Korea’s response to his decision to cancel the historic summit next month with Kim Jong-un as “very good news” after Pyongyang said it was still willing to talk to the US “any time in any form”.
Trump yesterday cancelled his proposed summit meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un on June 12 in Singapore and blamed Pyongyang’s “tremendous anger” and “open hostility” for his dramatic decision.
His announcement came hours after North Korea carried out what it said is the demolition of its nuclear test site yesterday.
Reacting to Trump’s letter, North Korea today said it was still willing to talk to the US though the President has cancelled the summit.
“The abrupt announcement of the cancellation of the meeting is unexpected for us and we cannot but find it extremely regrettable,” Kim Kye Gwan, North Korea’s First Vice Foreign Minister, said in a statement.
“We again state to the US our willingness to sit face-to-face at any time in any form to resolve the problem,” Kim was quoted as saying by the state-run KCNA news agency.
