What the papers say - May 25
Donald Trump's dramatic decision to cancel next month's summit with North Korea dominates the headlines on Friday.
The US president suggested China was to blame for the deterioration in relations, reports The Times, as Mr Trump veered between threats of military action and entreaties to Kim Jong Un to schedule another meeting.

A formal letter to Mr Kim told how Mr Trump had "very much been looking forward" to meeting the North Korean leader, but that he felt it inappropriate to continue with the summit based on the "tremendous anger and open hostility" in Pyongyang's most recent statement, The Guardian says.
