U.S. President Donald Trump labored with South Korea's Moon Jae-in Tuesday to keep the highly anticipated U.S. summit with North Korea on track after Trump abruptly cast doubt that the June 12 meeting would come off. Setting the stakes sky high, Moon said, "The fate and the future of the Korean Peninsula hinge" on the meeting. (AP Photo/Ahn Young-joon)Pyongyang – North Korea said Thursday recent comments by U.S. Vice President Mike Pence were “stupid” and “ignorant” and again warned it was willing to pull out of a planned summit between leader Kim Jong Un and President Donald Trump.

    Choe Son Hui, the vice minister of foreign affairs, was quoted Thursday by the North’s state-run news agency slamming comments Pence made in an interview with Fox News that compared North Korea to Libya, saying they showed that he does not understand North Korea’s situation.

    She also questioned whether the summit, scheduled for June 12 in Singapore, would be worthwhile if the remarks reflect Washington’s position.

    “We will neither beg the U.S. for dialogue nor take the trouble to persuade them if they do not want to sit together with us” KCNA quoted her as saying. “Whether the U.S. will meet us at a meeting room or encounter us at nuclear-to-nuclear showdown is entirely dependent upon the decision and behavior of the United States.”

    Trump met with South Korean President Moon Jae-in on Tuesday at the White House for consultations and suggested the summit could be delayed. But the U.S. says it is still working on making the historic summit happen.

    You don’t get a Nobel Prize for being a sex predator, racial bigot and Yutz. N Korea deal on very thin ice due to Trumpf and Pencie Pinkie (a punchball like a spaldeen). Feh.

    Hashomer, looks like you despise the person that pulled rabashken out of jail, moved the isreal Embassy to Jerusalem, got the unemployment rate below 4% and love the one who didn’t, is it because you’re a self hating or just a sicko with a huge blockage?

    To #8 - Can you read or what? Hashomer always refers to Trump as &#8 220;Trumpf&#8 221;, to stress the German origin of his name; also, he always calls Trump a &#8 220;Yutz&#8 221;, which is a derogatory Yiddish word. Last, he referred to Mike Pence as &#8 220;Pencie Pinkie&#8 221;. How much more inappropriate, does that disgrace to his tribe, have to get? Surely, there has to be certain standards on this site, regarding name calling, and other foul words; wouldn&#8 217;t you agree?

    Well, it could have been worse. President Trump might have signed a stupid deal and at least that did not happen. Must be painful when your own Veep and National Security Guy destroys your policy in public like that.
