BREAKING: North Korean leader, Kim Jong Un Still Willing to Meet Donald Trump After Trump Cancels Singapore Nuclear Summit

Kim Kye Gwan, a top official at North Korea's Foreign Ministry, said in comments published Friday by the country's state-run news agency KCNA that Kim Jong Un is still willing to meet Donald Trump "at any time and in any way," after President Donald Trump canceled his historic nuclear summit with Kim Jong Un on Thursday, accusing North Korea of "tremendous anger and open hostility."

The meeting, which would have marked the first face-to-face encounter between a sitting U.S. president and a North Korean leader, was set for June 12 in Singapore.

"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 wrote in a letter to Kim, which was released Thursday morning.

Stocks fell after news of the cancellation broke, although equities rebounded from lows somewhat later in the day.
