Trump Kim summit: North Korean leader arrives in Singapore

Trump Kim summit: North Korean leader arrives in Singapore

Singapore, June 10 (UNI) North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has arrived in Singapore for his scheduled summit meeting with US President Donald Trump, according to a BBC News report on Sunday.
The historic meeting between the two leaders will take place at the island resort of Sentosa on Tuesday.
It is the first time a North Korean leader has met a sitting US president.
Before setting off, Mr Trump described the summit as a "one-time shot" at peace and said the two were in "unknown territory in the truest sense".
The US president will arrive later on Sunday.
Washington hopes the summit will kick-start a process that eventually sees Mr Kim give up his nuclear weapons.
The two leaders have had an extraordinary up-and-down relationship over the past 18 months, trading insults and threatening war before abruptly changing tack and moving towards a face-to-face meeting.
Both leaders will meet Singapore's Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong before their summit.
