Security beefed up in Singapore hotels ahead of historic Trump-Kim meeting

Donald Trump, Kim Jong Un

Final preparations are underway in Singapore for the historic summit between US President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, as several hotels have placed impeccable flower arrangements in their lobbies and security checkpoints have started to be set up. "I am sorry, you cannot pass," a security guard calmly told reporters attempting to approach the luxurious Capella Hotel, where the historic first meeting between the leaders of the United States and North Korea will take place on June 12.

 The only people allowed into the five-star hotel, located on Singapore's Sentosa Island, are the staff and guests, as many of the rooms, which can cost up to $10,000 per night, had already been reserved before the White House announced the location of next Tuesday's summit, Efe reported. "We cannot provide any details," the General Manager of the Capella Hotel, Fernando Gibaja, said regarding preparations for the summit.
