As preparations are underway for a US-North Korea summit, US officials are trying to solve the logistical issue of who will pay for North Korean leader Kim Jong Un's housing, according to a new report.
A week after abruptly scrapping the summit with Kim, President Donald Trump announced Friday that the historic talks were back on for June 12 in Singapore.
With its economy weakened from tough sanctions, Pyongyang is requiring that another country pay for Kim and his delegation's hotel bill, The Washington Post reported Friday.
According to the Post, Kim is demanding to stay at the luxury, five-star Fullerton hotel, where a presidential suite costs more than $6,000 a night....

Why is the WAPO worried about this, they didn’t worry about where the 1.7BILLION in cash that Obama flew to Iran!
This money we're talking here is literally chump change, particularly when you consider that 0 was flying airplanes full of cash into Iran for absolutely nothing.
I'll guarantee you that DJT isn't worried about the hotel bill.
And just exactly how much cash did CNN and Compost burn through publicizing this gossipy tripe.
Lil Kim, you want in on the game you are going to need to ante up.
If Trump wants to REALLY make the libtards squeal he would offer to pay it out of his own pocket.
He’s a hotel and casino owner. He can comp it.
He has a luxury lifestyle now. His people don’t. They live in poverty largely (sans the elite).
He should pay for his own room. If he has to stay in a seedy hotel with a 1 star rating, that’s fantastic.
If we could have halted World War II by meeting in Monaco with Hitler and he was short on cash, do you think Roosevelt or Churchill would’ve hesitated to pay for the bill?
I remember learning about that and other petty issues that stalled negotiations during the Korean War.
Put him up at Motel 6 and we will leave the light on for ya!
The hotel being used for the Norks is... the Fullerton Hotel. Fullerton building was the original General Post Office, built in 1829 by the British when Singapore was theirs. They shipped Grey Granite from Scotland by sailing ship. It served as a customs house, government house and central post office (all key elements for a Crown Colony under Queen Victoria!).
Restored and converted to a hotel quasi run by the Singapore government and a contractor. The Presidential suite is $6K per night.
The hotel being used by the US (a hotel quite used to incredibly tight security) is the Shangri-La. Logistics and security feature. The WaPo people are simply a@@holes. This is nothing, zero compared to the daily expense for obamaumao to vacay in HI for example. Petty little shites.
But yes— the bill should be paid by a reduction of US payment to UN... period. It is the job they should have been doing, but never did (and never would with the Chi-coms making their presence felt). The whole issue is asinine, and designed to take away from a monumental potential outcome. Unless this fat boy thinks he’s scoring points, and flips on the original arrangements. In which case the room nights wouldn’t pay for 1/4 of one JDAM cruise missile to flatten his homes.
Why can't Fat Boy stay in the Dictator Suite?
Tell him that if he gives up his nukes, we’ll pay for his room and also buy dinner. With dessert of his choice!
The U.S. isn’t running a cute little B&B. Let fatboi pay his own tab.
These accords were in response to the Vietnam War.
Have the UN pay for it.
Oh, wait, they don’t have a budget they have US taxpayers pay their way.
So silly.
The NK elite can afford the best and most luxurious accomodations.
But...
They don’t want their populace seeing them spend that money.
So the greatest of US propagandists help NK out.
Who cares who pays for the hotel?
WP is just trying to sabotage the meeting. Thinking NK will read the article and get offended. Fortunately back communication channels are in place and everyone on both sides are ridiculing the American Leftist Media.
Trump Admin to NK negotiation team. Please ignore the leftist WP media. They lie and are just trying to sabotage our summit. Ignore them.
Exactly.
They are so obvious and transparent.
NK should acknowledge the BIASED leftist US Media, specifically the lying NYT WP and CNN for failing in their efforts to sabotage PT efforts with NK.
They are so transparent.
Hope springs eternal. Somehow I doubt that it would make a difference and if he can’t pay for his room, then he is not serious and only playing games.
