In the latest sign of a more conciliatory approach by North Korea toward the United States, the North has decided it won’t hold its annual anti-U.S. rally.

The rally, which commemorates the start of the Korean War, is an annual event in which the North uses anti-U.S. propaganda to solidify the regime’s own internal propaganda. The cancellation follows the summit between President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
