Daily Mail: Kim GHOSTED us, says Trump's secretary of state after nuclear summit is canceled, revealing U.S. got 'no response' from North Korea about meeting preparations
* U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo told a Senate panel that North Korea's government disappeared at a crucial point in pre-summit negotiations
* Kim Jong-un and Donald Trump were to meet June 12 in Singapore for nuclear disarmament talks
* The U.S. 'received no response to our inquiries from them,' Pompeo said
* Trump called off the meeting Thursday morning in a letter to Kim
* In the absence of progress, Pompeo said, 'In some ways it's "situation normal." The pressure campaign continues'
