WASHINGTON (AP) - President Donald Trump^[1] says the U.S. hasn’t been notified about North Korea’s threat to cancel his planned summit with Kim Jong Un next month.

But Trump^[2] says he’ll still insist on the country’s denuclearization.

North Korea on Wednesday threatened to scrap the historic summit next month between Trump^[3] and Kim, saying it has no interest in a “one-sided” affair meant to pressure the North to abandon its nuclear weapons.

Trump^[4] said Wednesday as he welcomed the president of Uzbekistan to the White House that “We haven’t been notified at all” about the threat.

He adds: “We haven’t seen anything. We haven’t heard anything. We will see what happens.”
