In deciding where to conduct the anticipated meeting between President Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un on June 12, a number of locations were considered: Switzerland, Mongolia, and even the demilitarized zone that spans between North and South Korea.
On Thursday, a White House official said, “Singapore was selected because they have been willing to hold [the meeting], and because they have diplomatic relations with both the U. S. and North Korea. They are one of the very few countries that have relationships with both countries.”
But there are more reasons than that.
Singapore doesn’t mess around when it comes to security. The country’s laws are not only strict, but strictly enforced. And with military service being mandatory for all male citizens, they are a formidable threat to any who might approach with ill-intent.
