Read: Trump’s letter to Kim Jong Un canceling the North Korea summit

The much-anticipated summit between President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un is officially canceled. On Thursday morning, Trump sent a letter to Kim — the full text of which has been made public — in which he notified North Korea’s supreme commander that the event was off.

The event was supposed to take place on June 12 in Singapore. The reason for cancellation, according to Trump, was a recent North Korean statement that blasted some of Vice President Mike Pence’s recent comments as “stupid” and threatened a “nuclear showdown” with the United States. “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 writes.

The letter’s tone is more wistful than hostile, reading almost like a breakup note. “I felt a wonderful dialogue was building between you and me, and ultimately, it is the only dialogue that matters,” Trump writes. “If you change your mind having to do with this important summit, please do not hesitate to call me or write.”

Here’s the full text of Trump’s letter, sent on official White House letterhead:

Will you support Vox’s explanatory journalism?

Most news outlets make their money through advertising or subscriptions. But when it comes to what we’re trying to do at Vox, there are a couple of big issues with relying on ads and subscriptions to keep the lights on:

First, advertising dollars go up and down with the economy. We often only know a few months out what our advertising revenue will be, which makes it hard to plan ahead.

Second, we’re not in the subscriptions business. Vox is here to help everyone understand the complex issues shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. And we can’t do that if we have a paywall.

So even though advertising is still our biggest source of revenue, we also seek grants and reader support. (And no matter how our work is funded, we have strict guidelines on editorial independence.)

If you also believe that everyone deserves access to trusted high-quality information, will you make a gift to Vox today? Any amount helps.
