Singapore, June 6: After dramatic twists and turns in the much awaited United States-North Korea summit, the two countries have finally settled to a decision complying with the venue of the summit in Singapore. The summit between US President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un will be on Singapore's southern island of Sentosa at the Capella Hotel as the preparations for the summit have accelerated.

 

Confirming the news, White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders said in a Twitter post that the venue would be the Capella Hotel on the island and thanked Singaporeans for their hospitality. The summit is scheduled to start on the morning of June 12.

Earlier, Trump said that his meeting with Kim would hopefully be the start of something big. Trump and Kim's highly anticipated meeting is scheduled for 12 June, after a flurry of on-again-off-again action. Trump hopes to secure a nuclear deal with the North Koreans, though he stressed last week that the process would likely take longer than a single meeting.

Barreling toward a historic summit with North Korea's Kim Jong-un, Trump has his sights set on a nuclear deal, leaving allies and advocates worried that he may give short shrift to human rights abuses and regional security concerns.

With a week to go before the 12 June meeting in Singapore, Trump has largely kept his focus on denuclearisation of the Korean Peninsula, recently stressing that it may take more than one meeting to achieve that goal.

That singular focus could mean Trump looks past a range of troublesome actions by the regime as he promises Kim "protection" in exchange for giving up a nuclear program that could pose a direct threat to the US mainland.
