We have been waiting for more details about the time and place of the historic and highly anticipated meeting between President Trump and North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un, and we finally have them.
CNN says that it will be in Singapore:

Officials reportedly thought Singapore represented a more neutral meeting place, according to CNN.
White House officials said a date and location have been chosen but declined to reveal them. Some privately cautioned, however, that the final sign-off from Trump has not yet been given.
“I can tell you that a date and location are set, but, beyond that, I don’t have any other announcements at this point,” White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Wednesday, adding she expects an announcement in “the next few days.”
The meeting will be the first summit between a sitting U.S. president and a North Korean leader.
This is after Trump declined to have it at the DMZ, which was a good decision – not only would security be a nightmare with all the journalists there, but the North Koreans consider that to be the site of their glorious victory over “imperialist” forces, so having Trump there doesn’t look good for him. Now let’s see what President Negotiator-in-Chief can work out with the commie dictator.
