North Korea says it's still willing to meet with Trump after US President cancels summit

North Korea has said its supreme leader, Kim Jong Un is still willing to meet Donald Trump "at any time," despite the US President's abrupt cancellation of what would have been a historic summit between the two leaders, scheduled for June 12.

Kim Kye Gwan, a top official at North Korea's Foreign Ministry, said Trump's decision to cancel the talks runs counter to the global community's wishes for peace on the Korean Peninsula. "We would like to make known to the US side once again that we have the intent to sit with the US side to solve problem(s) regardless of ways at any time," said Kim in comments published by the country's state-run news agency KCNA Friday.

He also said Trump's decision is "not consistent with the desire of humankind for peace and stability in the world, to say nothing of those in the Korean Peninsula."

President Trump canceled the summit on Thursday in a letter addressed to Kim Jong Un, citing recent hostile comments from top North Korean officials and concern over Pyongyang's commitment to giving up its nuclear weapons. Trump said it would be "inappropriate" to have the summit given his worries.
