The Implications of the Cancelled NK-US Summit

Since the topic was locked due to low quality comments, I hope that the mods will allow this, at least with the potential for discussion.

As many already know, President Trump has written Kim Jong-Un, signaling that he is cancelling the Summit on June 12th. In his letter he describes the "hostile rhetoric" of North Korea as being the main cause of this cancellation. And while he also makes statements that he hopes that in the future such a summit can happen, he makes a not so thinly veiled threat, making statements with regards to the US Nuclear Arsenal, and "praying to God it will never be used."

So now comes the post-summit cancellation implications. We now know that the US has willingly walked away from it. But there's so many other players involved here. North Korea has just gotten done destroying a major nuclear facility. Will they try to keep charming South Korea, in an attempt to drive a wedge between the US and South Korea, hoping that SK is willing to do anything to avoid a war? What of China? China has been adamant about the need for a diplomatic end to this phase, and seemed optimistic, not to mention it's a heavy trading partner with the US. Will they defend North Korea in the event of war? And of course, the question that everyone should be wondering...will this entire thing go nuclear?
