The White House said Tuesday that they were not responsible for a commemorative coin celebrating a potential “peace summit” with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.

Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders laid blame for the production of the coins on the an obscure federal agency amid criticism that the bauble portrayed the rogue dictator in a favorable light.

“This is a standard procedure by the White House Communications Agency,” Sanders said. “These coins are designed and done by that organization.”

The coin, which features President Trump and “Supreme Leader” Kim Jong-un, was blasted by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer for prominently featuring the leader of the nuclear-armed nation.

“Challenge coins are a time honored tradition and certainly appropriate in this situation, but Kim Jong Un’s face has no place on this coin,” Schumer wrote on Twitter.

“He is a brutal dictator and something like the Peace House would be much more appropriate.”

The blame game for the coin comes as North Korea has threatened to back out of the meetings altogether.

President Trump himself said Tuesday that the historic summit will probably be delayed.
