“President Trump thanked Prime Minister Lee for his willingness to host President Trump’s June 12 meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un,” the White House said in a statement. “President Trump said that he looks forward to seeing Prime Minister Lee in Singapore soon.”

The Southeast Asian nation was chosen from a list of potential sites that included the Demilitarized Zone dividing the Koreas, Mongolia, and Switzerland.

Singapore is considered a neutral venue with the necessary security and media access to make the unprecedented summit a success. (Yonhap)
