Trump Kim summit: US and N Korean leaders arrive in Singapore

Singapore: North Korean leader Kim Jong Un met with Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong on Sunday, hours after arriving in Singapore and ahead of an historic summit with US President Donald Trump. Lee will have a separate meeting with Trump on Monday.

Singapore prepares to host a historic summit whose twists and turns have enraptured the world.

“Prime Minister Lee complimented the bold and admirable decision by Chairman Kim and President of the United States Donald Trump to come together for this Summit,” it said.

Mr. Trump arrived at Paya Lebar Air Base in Singapore a few hours after Mr. Kim landed at Changi airport on a commercial Air China plane. Mr. Trump flew straight from a tempestuous Group of 7 meeting in Canada, where he had cut short his attendance to head to Singapore.
