The North Korea summit, which is set for June 12 possibly in Singapore, has not been cancelled despite repeated threats from North Korea because of military drills occurring in South Korea. Trump has commented on the matter, saying that the US would not follow the "Libya Model" in which Libya's political leader Muammar Gaddafi was assassinated less than a decade after agreeing to forfeit the countries nuclear weapons. Trump has also said that he believes the meeting will be successful and complemented the South Korean people.
The "Libya Model" can be synthesized to many countries during the Cold War in the Middle East where Western-backed rebels assassinated many leaders to prevent the spread of communism. The talks themselves could be synthesized to the Detentes that occurred during the Nixon Administration that lessened tensions. Hopefully, for the good of the US and the good of the civilized world, these talks take place and are wildly successful. A consequence of this not occurring would be nuclear war resulting in the destruction of our planet, which further emphasizes the necessity of peace between the US and North Korea.
