North Korea threatens to withdraw from summit with Trump: Report

North Korea is threatening to cancel its upcoming summit between leader Kim Jong Un and President Donald Trump over South Korea-U.S.military drills, South Korean news agency Yonhap reported, citing North Korean state media.

North Korea has also canceled high-level talks with South Korea that were scheduled for Wednesday local time over those same drills, according to Yonhap.

The controversial summit between the American and North Korean leader was first announced in March and Trump tweeted the scheduled date -- June 12 -- and location -- Singapore -- last week.

Three Americans that were held in North Korea for more than a year each were released last week, in what was seen by many as a gesture of goodwill before the scheduled summit.

I think all parties are well aware that Trump is willing to deal on American's terms and we are not going to abandon our right to military exercises with our friends. We are not equals. We are seeking a deal so we don't have to "end" NoKo.

NK knows that Trump is headily invested in the success of talks. He has gone all loopy for KJU.
Trump has also ruminated about removing troops from SK. Not like that was a secret.
Now we must wait and see.

That said, I think KJU will play Trump like a violin.

How would the US end North Korea?

No problem. The sanctions continue.

North Korea is seeing how desperate the President is for a summit and an outcome.

But would the rest of the world continue the sanctions if N and S Korea work it out to something other than America's delight?

Maybe the American military should simmer the **** down and let this process happen...unless America benefits too much from having a mega base in S Korea, and would rather see the conflict continue.

An agreement between the Koreas that does not satisfy the strategic interests of the United States and Japan is worrisome for regional and international stability.

Yes, we do have a lot to gain from a continued presence in the region, and no, we shouldn't let the desire for a summit and a deal cloud the quality of results.

Meanwhile... It seems these people have jumped the gun:

I was just going ask the same thing.

Being a Trump fluffer is a pre-requisite for Republicans these days.

Obviously none of us can say for sure how this will end up working out, though it certainly seems like Un is playing Trump.

How odd that a country with decades of experience of leveraging superior nations against each other should somehow be able to play a guy whose lifetime experiences are defined by bankruptcy and laundering money for the Russian mob.

Little Kim doesn't care about sanctions. He doesn't even care about his own people.

If NK and SK work out something that includes getting rid of NK nukes and missiles, that will delight America.

btw, SK is taking active part in these military drills. Do you want SK to simmer the **** down, too?

Little Kim doesn't care about sanctions. He doesn't even care about his own people.

He cares about sanctions, but if he can get as close as he can to ensuring his regime's survival with nuclear weapons, he will make his countrymen eat grass and each other.

China cares about sanctions...and they tell Little Kim what to do.

Every ****ing time. You people are comical. You see a situation and are just hell bent on finding a way that Trump is going to destroy the world. Worse...you WANT it. Desperately. And the people you jump into bed with........

Trump doesnt need North Korea. North Korea needs economic development.

COME ON....we all knew that we would see this at least once, it is SOP for the North Koreans.

N Korea is not going to give up its nukes. That's not going to happen.

Ya, I do. It's a fragile situation, there's a lot of trust building that needs to happen, why people are acting stupid is beyond me.

Out of curiosity, if North and South Korea unified, and South Korean leadership took over, would you be ok with them having the nukes, as an ally of America?

I have a feeling tha Kim is superstitious and the collapse of his test site was a bad omen that freaked him out. Let’s not lose site of the real issues: no nuclear weapons that can fly, no capitalism or freedom too close to communist China, and Kim is still in titular leader as the country modernizes.

The options short of shooting are economic pressures on NoKo and China, including public shaming of China when they are caught cheating. BTW, “Saving face” to China means don’t tell anyone we are cheating.

Is Trump willing to pull a Reykjavik (hopefully without Reagan's quick offers, we must say)?

I remain skeptical. Bolton would, but I don't know about the President.

The mountain is mystical they say, but I think the bigger issue is that China had warned them that this was likely to happen thus using this site was a bad idea and they did it anyways, almost to disaster, and with disaster possibly still to come nobody knows.

The Cheese Eater is very much chastened.
