North Korea casts doubt on Trump summit, rejects denuclearization: Reuters, citing North Korean news agency

North Korea said it will reconsider a June 12 meeting scheduled to take place in Singapore if Washington insists on Pyongyang relinquishing its nuclear weapons.

Earlier, North Korea abruptly canceled talks with South Korea and threatened to walk away from discussions with the U.S. in protest over Washington and Seoul's joint military drills.

North Korea threatens to cancel US meeting over American military drills with South Korea, report says

North Korea announced it has canceled a high-level summit with South Korea and is threatening to cancel its meeting with the United States over American military drills with South Korea, Yonhap News reported Tuesday, citing KCNA.

KCNA, North Korea's state media outlet, claimed that the military drills were a rehearsal for a potential invasion of the country.

A meeting between President Trump and North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un is also in jeopardy, according to Yonhap News. Trump announced last week that the "highly anticipated meeting" with Kim would take place in Singapore on June 12.

State Department Spokesperson Heather Nauert said during a Tuesday briefing that they had not received any "formal or even informal notification of anything," and are continuing to plan the summit.

I hope it's fake. Otherwise quite odd and confusing maneuver from North Korea.

Is that what it really is? Simply saving face and smoothing the narrative? Just need confirmation.

Anything to piss off Amazon/Bezos I'm happy with.

Q posted this a few months ago. Is this related to GCR/RV and NRSARA? There have been a lot of talks on this subject lately.. it seems like this once laughable idea might come into reality.
