The White House said today that a North Korean failure to keep its word had led US President Donald Trump to call off his summit with Kim Jong Un next month.
"There has been a trail of broken promises that gave the United States pause," said a senior White House official, citing in particular a failure by Pyongyang to turn up to a preparatory meeting in Singapore.
"They stood us up," said the official, who cited a "profound lack of good faith" on Pyongyang's behalf.
The official added that Trump had "dictated every word" of his letter to Kim cancelling the June 12 summit.
