North Korea may reconsider Trump summit if denuclearisation 'unilateral'

Seoul: North Korea said it may reconsider holding a summit with the United States if Washington continues to unilaterally insist that the Kim regime gives up its nuclear program, the North's state media said on Wednesday.

Citing first vice minister of foreign affairs Kim Kye-gwan, North Korea's central news agency , KCNA, also said the fate of the US-North Korea summit as well as bilateral relations "would be clear" if Washington spoke of a Libya-style denuclearisation for the North.

The statement added US President Donald Trump would remain as a "failed president" if he followed in the steps of his predecessors.

Earlier North Korea suspended high-level talks with South Korea scheduled for Wednesday due to US-South Korean military exercises and warned its leader Kim Jong-un's summit with Trump scheduled for June 12 in Singapore could be in jeopardy.
