So what happens to the North Korea-U.S. summit...

Pyongyang questioned the fate of the meeting in its surprise announcement on Wednesday.

The White House says... it's looking into the North's announcement,... but will keep

preparing for the summit for now.

Lee Ji-won has more.

The United States has responded to North Korea's announcement that its suspending the planned

high-level talks with South Korea.

Saying that the U.S. is aware of the cancelation, White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders

said in a statement Tuesday that "the U.S. will look at what North Korea has said independently,

and continue to coordinate closely with its allies."

This comes as Pyongyang also threatened to call off the much anticipated North Korea-U.S.

summit slated to be held on June 12th, by saying that the U.S. should carefully consider

the fate of the upcoming meeting, in view of (quote-unquote) "provocative military disturbances

with South Korea."

According to CNN, a senior administration official said that meetings are currently

underway between White House officials, the National Security Council and the Defense

Department,... and that the White House is preparing its response.

But earlier Tuesday, the U.S. State Department said they will move forward in preparing for

the talks.

"We are operating under the idea and the notion that the president's meeting is going forward

with Chairman, with Chairman Kim next month."

Nauert denied that the drills are provocative, saying the exercises "are things that the

U.S. does all over the world with many of their partners and allies."

She also emphasized that the North Korean leader Kim Jong-un had said before that he

"understands" these joint-drills between South Korea and the U.S.

"I will say that Kim Jong Un had said previously that he understands the need and the utility

of the United States and the Republic of Korea continuing in its joint exercises.

They're exercises that are legal, they are planned well, well in advance."

Nauert went on to say that the news had just come out and that they need to verify it to

get additional information.

The Pentagon defended the military exercises in a statement on Tuesday, saying that the

annual exercises are part of the ROK-U.S. alliance's routine, and that the purpose of

the training is to enhance the alliance's ability to defend South Korea and enhance

interoperability and readiness.

Why Some People Don't Want Help - Anthony Gucciardi - Duration: 1:43.

Some people just don't want help, and it's a foreign concept to most of us because,

you know, if you're somebody that develops yourself and you look at things and

you say, "There's an obvious answer here. It's an obvious choice what you should

do." And when you give advice to someone and they're not listening,

they're not doing it. They don't want help.

Now, you might think it's because they don't care. It's because, you know,

they're apathetic, which is sometimes the case, but oftentimes,

people that don't want help, that don't want to do anything

about their scenario, they're actually not wanting to face the

pain of the choice and the scenario. So there's too much pain for them.

They're not ready to take that leap yet and actually face it and take it on.

And that's the thing that separates a lot of the people that are

into self-development and they're into kind of looking in and looking at their

darkness and overcoming things and going through the struggle.

They're really strong people, right? And we forget this. There's a lot

of people that they don't want help. They don't want to look at that.

They don't want to go through the process. They don't want to, even for a minute,

think about, "Oh, wait a minute. You know, I do have issues. I do have problems,"

and they're not there yet, and that's okay. We've all been there

at some point. At some point, someone came and tried to help us, and we said,

"No, I'm not doing that right now. I'm not ready for that just yet,"

and there are a lot of people that are still like that. So it doesn't make sense

to us because we're not like that, and we think, "Well, no. Wait. Why not take

this advice? It's obvious." But some people are just not ready.
