TOKYO—North Korea has renewed its threat to pull out of a summit next month with President Donald Trump, saying it is just as ready to meet in a nuclear confrontation as at the negotiating table. Vice-President Mike Pence suggesting the North may end up like Libya if it doesn’t move forward with denuclearization. She also questioned whether the summit, scheduled for June 12 in Singapore, would be worthwhile if the remarks reflect Washington’s position. Pence said both the Clinton and Bush administrations had been “played” by the North Korean government. Gadhafi was deposed after a 42-year reign and killed in 2011 — the year Kim assumed power in North Korea — while his country spiralled into chaos.
