Contacts should continue even if summit cancelled

The summit in Singapore between US President Donald Trump and Democratic People's Republic of Korea leader Kim Jong-un may or may not be taking place on June 12 as planned.

Trump informed Kim in a letter on Thursday that he was canceling the meeting because of the DPRK's recent "hostility".

"Sadly, based on the tremendous anger and open hostility displayed in your most recent statement, I feel it is inappropriate, at this time, to have this long-planned meeting," Trump wrote in his letter, which was released by the White House.
