US President Donald Trump has reacted cautiously to North Korea's threat to cancel a planned summit with Kim Jong-Un next month, saying "we'll have to see." after Pyongyang publicly voiced its concern over being pushed "into a corner" on nuclear disarmament.

North Korea yesterday threatened to abandon planned talks between Kim and Trump if Washington insists on pushing it "into a corner" on nuclear disarmament.

Trump said the US has not been notified about Pyongyang's threat to cancel his historic summit with North Korean leader Kim on June 12 in Singapore.

"No decision. We haven't been notified at all (about the threat). We'll have to see," Trump told reporters yesterday as he welcomed the President of Uzbekistan Shavkat Miromonovich Mirziyoyev to the White House.

"We haven't seen anything. We haven't heard anything. We will see what happens, whatever is," he said.

Asked if Kim is bluffing, he replied, "We'll see what happens."
"These are ongoing conversations," she said. "Beyond that I don't have a lot to say, other than what we've already laid out what our priorities are when it comes to these conversations and that we're going to be prepared if it takes place."
