Trump-Kim Summit to Take Place at Singapore’s Sentosa Island

The White House has confirmed the location, Capella Hotel on Sentosa Island in Singapore, which has been chosen for soon to be held summit between US President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.

The most anticipated meeting between President Trump and Kim is scheduled for 12th of this month, finally selected after a series of actions from either side.

Informing everyone about the summit venue, White House spokesperson Sarah Sanders tweeted “the meeting will be at the Capella Hotel, a luxury resort on Sentosa Island. We thank our great Singaporean hosts for their hospitality”.

With just a few days left before the 12th June meeting between the two leaders, Donald Trump has largely kept his focus clear, that is the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula, though he recently stressed that the process may take more than just one meeting to achieve the goal.

Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump has assured, North Korean leader Kim, of protection, if he gives up his nuclear program, which poses a direct threat to the US. Though Kim has suspended all his nuclear activities so far, no one knows about his clear intention.

Experts and critics are expecting a fruitful outcome from this summit, Minority leader at Senate, Chuck Schumer said, “We want to make sure the president's desire for a deal with North Korea doesn't saddle the United States, Japan and South Korea with a bad deal”.

Senate Democrats also have released a letter to the Donald Trump administration, prescribing certain parameters to be kept in mind during the summit, which they believe can constitute a satisfactory agreement between the two nations. The parameter includes a call for a permanent end to the North Korea’s nuclear, biological and chemical programs, to suspend its ballistic tests and inspections anywhere anytime.

On the other hand Marco Rubio, the Republican Senator has said that as the summit presents an opportunity to the US for a denuclearized Peninsula, “I urge the Trump administration to also priorities human rights and hold accountable the North Korean dictatorship for being one of the world's worst human rights abusers”.

Recently in a meeting with Kim’s top confident Kim Yong Chol, Trump made it clear that he did not raise the issue of human rights violation in North Korea. Though he said he probably take up the issue during his talks with the North Korean leader. The cases of human rights violation in North Korea are of great concern for the world.

Though no one from White House has made it specifically clear, what will be the US agenda during the summit, while the US allies in the region are pressing Trump to maintain pressure on the North Korea over its regional missile program.

This is for the first time, a US President is meeting a North Korean leader and it is expected that both the countries would try to extract most out of their first meeting. Now it is for all for us to see, who gains most.
