President Trump’s letter to North Korea’s Kim Jong Un calling off summit Here is the full text of a letter from President Donald Trump to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, in which Trump says he’s calling off their planned summit. The letter was released by the White House on Thursday morning. The stock benchmarks fell after Trump said he was canceling the summit. Dear Mr. Chairman: We greatly appreciate your time, patience, and effort with respect to our recent negotiations and discussions relative to a summit long sought by both parties, which was scheduled to take place on June 12 in Singapore. We were informed that the meeting was requested by North Korea. but that to us is totally irrelevant. I was very much looking forward to being there with you. Sadly, based on the tremendous anger and open hostility displayed in your most recent statement, I feel it is inappropriate at this time, to have this long-planned meeting. Therefore, please let this letter serve to represent that the Singapore summit, for the good of both parties, but to the detriment of the world, will not take place. You talk about your nuclear capabilities, but ours are so massive and powerful that I pray to God they will never have to be used. I felt a wonderful dialogue was building up between you and me. and ultimately, it is only that dialogue that matters, Some day, I look very much forward to meeting you. In the meantime, I want to thank you for the release of the hostages who are now home with their families. That was a beautiful gesture and was very much appreciated. If you change your mind having to do with this most important summit, please do not hesitate to call me or write. The world, and North Korea in particular. has lost a great opportunity for lasting peace and great prosperity and wealth. This missed opportunity is a truly sad moment in history. Donald J. Trump President of the United States of America Honesty is the best policy. |

根據溝通專家逐字逐句的剖析，美國總統川普24日寫給北韓領導人金正恩告知取消6月峰會的信函，讀起來有如一封很差勁的「分手信」，不像是深思熟慮且措辭嚴謹的外交書信，倒像是出自於一個怕被拋棄、所以先「喊切」的失意情人之手。 先來看川普致金正恩這封短信，內文全譯如下： 「親愛的主席先生， 我們非常感謝你近來為高峰會相關的協商與討論付出了時間、耐心與努力。這場原訂6月12日在新加坡舉行的峰會是雙方長期想促成的，據我們所知是北韓方面提出會面的要求，但那對我們而言無關宏旨。我曾非常期待與你一同赴會。可惜，基於你最近的聲明展現極度的憤怒和公開的敵意，我覺得此時舉行這場規劃已久的會議並不恰當。因此，謹以此信表明，新加坡峰會將不會舉行。這對雙方都好，卻是世界的損失。你談論你們的核武能力，但我們的是如此浩大、強盛，我祈求上帝，永遠無須派上用場。 我曾覺得，你我之間建立起美好的對話，到頭來，只有那場對話才重要。我非常期待有朝一日與你會面。同時，我要感謝你釋放了人質，他們現已返鄉與家人團聚。那是很美好的姿態，十分感謝。 若你對這場很重要的峰會改變心意，請勿遲疑來電或寫信給我。這個世界，特別是北韓，已錯失一次締造持久和平與繁榮富庶的大好機會。錯失此良機，是歷史上真正令人遺憾的一刻。」 ————————------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 溝通顧問公司Humphrey Group創辦人韓芙瑞（Judith Humphrey）在「Fast Company」雜誌網站上撰文指出，川普執筆的這封信有三個毛病： 1. 只談「我」跟「你」 韓芙瑞指出，信原本是「我們」開頭，但到第三句就轉為單數的「我」和「你」，這種個人觀點一直延續到信末，「我」和「你」用的次數頻繁。 據她觀察，川普有把一切事情「個人化」的習慣，例如他把「釋放人質」描述成「美好的姿態」，像是維多利亞時代小說中刻畫的善行義舉。 但信裡卻不見對解決去核化問題提出格局更大的願景。川普也未說明，為何取消峰會是「世界的損失」。 2. 流露出希望破滅後期盼復合的渴望 曾後悔跟拋棄你的人分手，並且巴望復合嗎？川普的「分手信」讀起來就有這種味道。 先是遺憾因對方展現「憤怒」和「敵意」而覺得不得不揮劍斬情絲，然後又懷念昔日兩人間「美好的對話」，認為那才是至關緊要的。 有如一個期盼情人回心轉意的被拋棄者，川普也敞開大門，歡迎金正恩來電或來信與他聯繫，希望終有一日能相見。 3. 彈弓、弩箭和核彈 但川普也在字裡行間夾雜著一些帶刺的話語，與通篇大致懷柔的語氣不搭調——口氣就像一個語帶酸味的前任情人。他先說，兩人相會是北韓開口要求的，然後暗批對方態度轉為「憤怒」和「敵意」搞砸好事。 川普甚至還搬出美國強大的核武能力，言下之意是警告金正恩切勿逾越紅線。 由這些措辭看來，川普的言行舉止不像是個政治家，但飾演一個內心深受傷害、想要刺痛對方的被棄情人，倒是蠻像的。 Honesty is the best policy.

North Korea calls Pence 'stupid,' threatens 'nuclear showdown' amid summit jitters North Korea slammed Vice President Mike Pence on Thursday, calling comments he made earlier this week "stupid" and saying it's prepared for a "nuclear showdown" if ongoing talks with the U.S. fail. Choe Son Hui, a vice minister in the North Korean Foreign Ministry, called Pence a "political dummy" for comparing North Korea to Libya, which abandoned its early-stage nuclear program at the U.S.'s behest, only to have its leader ousted and killed years later -- with help from NATO-backed troops. "There was some talk about the Libya model," Pence said in an interview with Fox News on Monday. "As the President made clear, this will only end like the Libya model ended if Kim Jong Un doesn't make a deal." Choe called Pence's remarks "unbridled and impudent." "We could surmise more than enough what a political dummy he is as he is trying to compare the DPRK, a nuclear weapon state, to Libya that had simply installed a few items of equipment and fiddled around with them," North Korean state media KCNA quoted Choe as saying Thursday. "In view of the remarks of the U.S.'s high-ranking politicians who have not yet woken up to this stark reality and compare the DPRK to Libya that met a tragic fate, I come to think that they know too little about us." She said North Korea may reconsider attending the June 12 summit between Kim Jong Un and President Donald Trump if Pence's comments were a reflection of the U.S.'s official stance. "We will neither beg the U.S. for dialogue nor take the trouble to persuade them if they do not want to sit together with us," Choe told KCNA. "Whether the U.S. will meet us at a meeting room or encounter us at nuclear-to-nuclear showdown is entirely dependent upon the decision and behavior of the United States." Choe's comments marked yet another potential hiccup in planning the summit. Trump met with South Korean President Moon Jae-in on Tuesday and later suggested that the summit could be delayed or canceled. "Before making such reckless threatening remarks without knowing exactly who he is facing, Pence should have seriously considered the terrible consequences of his words," Choe said, according to KCNA. "To borrow their words, we can also make the U.S. taste an appalling tragedy it has neither experienced nor even imagined up to now." U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo indicated on Wednesday that plans for the summit in Singapore would move forward as scheduled, adding that North Korea would have to show it's taking steps towards denuclearization before the U.S. makes any concessions. "Our eyes are wide open to the lessons of history, but we're optimistic that we can achieve an outcome that will be great for the world," Pompeo said, speaking before the House Foreign Affairs Committee on Wednesday. "Our posture will not change until we see credible steps taken toward the complete, verifiable, and irreversible denuclearization of the Korean peninsula." How foolish of those North Koreans!!!! Honesty is the best policy.
