"Donald Trump said there was a “very substantial chance” that his summit next month with the North Korean leader, Kim Jong-un, could be postponed"
The thread title says:
"Trump admits 'very substantial chance' North Korea summit won't happen"
Said against admits
That bugs you ?
Maybe it's a question of semantics 'n' stuff
How did the mood sour last week?
North Korea cancelled high-level talks with South Korea, saying the South's joint military exercises with the US were a "provocation" and rehearsal for invasion.
Pyongyang then accused US national security adviser John Bolton of making "reckless statements" after he suggested the North could follow a "Libya model" of denuclearisation.
That was a reference to Libya's former leader, Muammar Gaddafi, who agreed to give up nuclear weapons in 2003 and was later killed by Western-backed rebels.
Mr Trump, however, later denied the US would follow the "Libyan model" if an agreement was reached with North Korea.
"The model, if you look at that model with Gaddafi, that was a total decimation," he said.
"We went in there to beat him. Now, that model would take place if we don't make a deal, most likely. But if we make a deal, I think Kim Jong-un is going to be very, very happy."
The U.S. holds all the cards with North Korea. They are becoming broker and hungrier by the week. Trump is waiting for Kim to BEG.

I know...and Li'l Kim is no picnic, either. Just don't let Bolton talk about Libya, eh?
