Trump arrives in Singapore for summit with Kim Jong-un that the U.S. president says he’s been preparing for ‘all my life’ and believes will be a ‘great success’
The U.S. president arrived in Singapore today for talks that could change the course of history and earn him the Nobel Peace Prize, if successful in convincing the world’s most isolated nation to end its pursuit of mankind’s most deadly weapons.
After a grueling 21 hours of travel that included a refueling stop on a Greek island, Trump touched down at Paya Labar Air Base on Sunday evening. He gave a short wave as he deplaned, and told journalists nearby he was feeling ‘very good’ about his meeting on Tuesday morning local time with Kim Jong-un.
Following a short conversation with Singapore government officials sent to greet him, the U.S. president then sped off in his motorcade to conclude his first evening in Singapore in the privacy of his room at the Shangri-La, the luxury hotel housing the U.S. delegation.
Tomorrow, he meets with Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, following in the footsteps of Kim, who sat down with the head of the summit’s host nation after his own arrival on Sunday afternoon local time on an Air China flight.
Kim is staying at the St. Regis hotel, just down the road from Trump. The foreign leaders will hold their summit at a third location, the Capella Resort, ensconced on 35 acres of land south of the city on Sentosa Island.
‘We’re going to have a great success,’ President Trump boldly predicted on Thursday at a White House news conference. ‘A long time ago, this could have been solved in a lot easier manner and a lot less dangerous manner. But it wasn’t. So I’ll solve it, and we’ll get it done.’
