Five things you need to know
1. Donald Trump cancels summit with Kim Jong Un
The planned summit between Donald Trump and Kim Jong Un on June 12 is no longer going to happen. President Trump sent a letter directly to the North Korean Leader on Thursday, saying that it feels inappropriate to have this long-planned meeting after Kim Jong Un’s most recent statement. In that statement, North Korea called Mike Pence a “political dummy.”

4. Van-surfing cat reaches speeds of 60 mph
It looked like this cat was going to need to use one of its nine lives, but it clung on for dear life and is okay. Video shows the cat, named Rebel, on top of a van that’s speeding down the highway at 60 mph. KETV in Omaha later caught up to the cat and van’s owners and has confirmed that the van-surfing kitty is perfectly fine after the scary ride.
😱 WHOA! A friend shared this video of a cat riding on top of this van going 60 mph on I-480 between Martha & Farnam in Omaha Friday around 8:30 p.m. People in the van had no idea! "They were shocked and scared! They immediately pulled over.” Anyone know what happened to cat? 🙀 pic.twitter.com/b4xWxaqu3W
