Please don’t say it was too good to be true.
North Korea is threatening to pull out of the much-lauded “peace summit” to negotiate an easing of tensions with the United States. President Trump has agreed to be the first president to ever meet with a North Korean leader since the war nearly half a century ago.
Trump has already negotiated the release of three U.S. citizens being held in captivity by the North Koreans in the lead up to the summit. And President Trump has confirmed the meeting will take place in Singapore – the exact location we reported the historic meeting was likely to take place at.
But now it looks like the rogue nation, living up to its rule-breaking reputation, may pull out.
Fox News just broke the story:
North Korea announced it has canceled a high-level summit with South Korea and has threatened to cancel its meeting with the United States over American military drills with South Korea, Yonhap News said, citing KCNA.
KCNA, North Korea’s state media outlet, claimed that the military drills were a rehearsal for a potential invasion of the country.
The meeting between the neighboring countries was scheduled for Wednesday and to be held on the south side of Panmunjom, according to the report.

Canceling this meeting would be a huge mistake on North Korea’s part. It took a lot of work and negotiation to get to this point. To pull out now would spoil all of that hard work, especially when we’re so close to this historic moment.
Let’s hope a resolution can be found to solve this issue before the meeting is canceled.
