The prime minister of South Korea today expressed sadness that the planned summit between US President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has been cancelled.
Speaking through a translator during a trip to Austria, Lee Nak-yeon told reporters that "we find it very sad that the summit that was announced between the United States and North Korea can't take place after all."
Lee said that South Korea still hopes to build on a recent historic meeting between North Korea's Kim and South Korea's President Moon Jae-in to make progress on a peace deal between the two countries.
Lee said that "we will continue to work to create peace on the Korean Peninsula." Trump cancelled the planned summit yesterday, citing "hostility" displayed by North Korea.
