This week, U.S. President Donald Trump and the North Korean leader Kim Jong-un will meet in a historic summit at the five-star Capella Hotel on the Singaporean island of Sentosa.
Once known as the “island behind death” due to its violent piracy past, and the site of a World War II massacre, the now tranquil island of Sentosa provides a luxurious backdrop to the historic summit.
Sources familiar with the summit arrangements said U.S. diplomats had picked the island resort, which is connected to the Singapore main island by a single causeway that can be easily closed off to traffic.
