So we know the time and date for the Kim- Trump summit... but as for exactly *where the two leaders will be meeting has not been officially announced yet.
But our Park Ji-won tells us that *one site has recently emerged as the most possible summit venue.

Singapore's Shangri-La Hotel is highly expected to be the venue for next Tuesday's historic North Korea-U.S. summit.
Speculation is being driven by the Singaporean government's decision to declare the area around the five-star hotel as a "special event area" from June 10th to the 14th.
With the designation,... people and vehicles entering the zone will be subject to strict security checks and police inspections,... and certain restricted items will not be allowed into the zone.
Since opening its doors in 1971,... the Shangri-La Hotel has been the go-to venue in Asia for a series of diverse international events.
In 2015, the hotel hosted the landmark summit between China's President Xi Jinping and Taiwan's then-president Ma Ying-jeou,... the first-ever meeting between the two countries since the 1949 Chinese Communist Revolution.
The hotel has also played host to the "Shangri-La Dialogue," Asia's biggest meeting of defense ministers, military officials and security experts,... every year,... since 2002.
This year's forum ended its three-run on Sunday with U.S. Secretary of Defense James Mattis, South Korea's Defense Minister Song Young-moo and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, among those in attendance.
Other luxury hotel locations like Capella in Sentosa Island,... and the Fullerton Hotel in the Marina Bay area are also considered strong candidates for providing rooms for the North Korean and U.S. delegations,... but nothing has been confirmed yet.
