It seems that the much anticipated summit between North Korea and the US won't be happening this time around.
The news came right after The White House released a statement.
According to a letter by US President Donald Trump, he has cancelled a planned summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.
The statement was written in the letter which states that he had made the decision based on the "tremendous anger and open hostility" in a recent North Korean statement.
Trump said it would be "inappropriate" to hold the summit as scheduled in Singapore on the 12th of June 2018.
In a letter to the North Korean leader, it states that "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's decision comes hours after North Korean Vice-Foreign Minister Choe Son Hui, in remarks carried on the country's official KCNA news service, said it would not "beg the U.S. for dialogue" and warned that it could make Washington "taste an appalling tragedy."
Hui also called Vice President Pence a "political dummy" and characterized recent comments he made suggesting that North Korea could end up like Libya if doesn't come to the bargaining table as "ignorant and stupid."
However, also stated in the letter to Kim, President Trump also added that he was very much looking forward to meeting him "someday".
