As the Washington Post reports:
President Trump announced Thursday that his summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un will occur June 12 in Singapore, a high-stakes step in his bid to rid the region of nuclear weapons.
Trump made the announcement via Twitter just hours after welcoming home three Americans held captive for more than a year in North Korea…
…Singapore maintains diplomatic relations with North Korea, which has an embassy and ambassador in the country. Singapore’s ambassador based in Beijing also is responsible for Pyongyang.
“Singapore is an ideal location for this summit,” said David Adelman, an attorney at ReedSmith who served as U.S. ambassador to the nation from 2010 to 2013 under former president Barack Obama.
It looks like the United States won’t be going to war with North Korea for at least another month!

I am wondering how Little Rocket Man is going to get to Singapore.
Kimmie's plane is an ancient IL-62 piece of crap. The longest flight it has flown in years is 300km.
My guess would be the armored train to Ho Chi Minh, then by boat. Or he charters a Chinese plane.
As much sucking up as Trump has been doing to him of late, Trump might just give him a lift on AF1……
