US reopens dialogue with North Korea

US President Donald Trump said that his administration has restarted dialogue with North Korea following his cancellation of a historic summit.

"We'll see what happens. We're talking to them now," CNBC cited Trump as saying.

The president added that the scrapped meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un "could" still happen. The summit, part of a process the U.S. hopes will lead to Pyongyang abandoning its nuclear and missile programs, had been set for June 12 in Singapore.

Yesterday, Trump abandoned the summit amid what he called "tremendous anger and open hostility" displayed by the communist dictatorship. A senior White House official said North Korea had stopped direct communication with the U.S. over the previous week.
