President Donald Trump today said the US has not been notified about North Korea's threat to cancel his historic summit with Kim Jong-un next month.

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

No decision. We haven't been notified at all (about the threat). We'll have to see," Trump told reporters at the White House.

"We haven't seen anything. We haven't heard anything. We will see what happens, whatever is," Trump told reporters as he welcomed the president of Uzbekistan to the White House.

Asked if Kim is bluffing, he replied, "We'll see what happens."
