Donald Trump has misspelt North Korean leader Kim Jong-un’s name wrong in a tweet announcing the cancellation of their planned summit. The president shared a grab of the letter he sent to Kim Thursday, and captioned it: ‘Sadly, I was forced to cancel the Summit Meeting in Singapore with Kim Jung Un.’
Trump’s spelling blunder came days after he misspelt FLOTUS Melania’s name wrong on Twitter, calling his wife ‘Melanie’ as he welcomed her home from hospital following a kidney procedure.
He canceled the planned June 12 meeting after North Korea’s vice foreign minister Choe Son Hui called US Vice President Mike Pence ‘stupid and ignorant’ for warning the dictatorship could end-up like war-torn Libya.
Trump also issued a veiled threat to Kim, saying: ‘You talk about your nuclear capabilities, but ours are so massive and powerful that I pray they will never be used.’
Trump’s letter also conceded that the pair had made progress, thanked him for releasing American hostages in North Korea, and said he hoped they could rearrange the meeting for a later date. He tweeted a copy of it shortly after 11am EST, and spelt the North Korean leader’s name wrong, writing: ‘Sadly, I was forced to cancel the Summit meeting in Singapore with Kim Jung uN.’
It was read by Secretary of State Mike Pompeo – who met Kim earlier this month – to the Senate moments after Trump published it. Mr Pompeo added that the summit was canceled because North Korea did not respond to repeated US requests to discuss the logistics of the meeting, and that the country’s attitude began to sour after he secured the release of three American prisoners held there during his visit.
