White House press secretary Sarah Sanders on Tuesday announced that President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un will meet at the Capella Hotel on Sentosa Island in Singapore on June 12.
"The venue for the Singapore summit between POTUS and Leader Kim Jong Un will be the Capella Hotel on Sentosa Island. We thank our great Singaporean hosts for their hospitality," Sanders tweeted.
The resort rests on 32 acres of land on Sentosa Island along the South China Sea and has 112 rooms, suites, villas, and manors, according to its website. It's not clear exactly where Trump and Kim will stay in the hotel, but previous reports have suggested the North Korean leader desires a suite and that the US government might be paying for it.

Trump and Kim's meeting is highly anticipated, though in recent days the Trump administration has attempted to temper expectations of what might occur during the summit after weeks of going back and forth on whether the meeting would even happen.
In late May, Trump cancelled the summit after aggressive comments from the North Korea government. But the US and North Korea have worked to revive the meeting, and on June 1 Trump announced it was back on.
It's not clear what Trump and Kim will discuss specifically at the meeting and details remain hazy.
The summit was initially pegged as Trump meeting with Kim to demand North Korean denuclearization. More recently, the White House has described it as a first step in a complex and potentially lengthy process.
