President Trump Cancels Rocket Man Summit

White House says prep team for US-North Korea summit to head to Singapore as scheduled

The White House said on Saturday its pre-advance team for the U.S.-North Korea summit will head to Singapore as scheduled, signaling that the high-stakes meeting President Donald Trump abruptly cancelled just days ago could be back on track.

On Thursday, Trump called off the meeting, even as North Korea made a show of dismantling a nuclear test site. In a letter to North Korea's leader, Trump cited sharp words used by the North Korean officials about America denuclearization demands.

Yet on Saturday, White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said that the team will "prepare should the summit take place."

The prep team departs amid diplomatic whiplash over the fate of a historic summit between the president and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un as part of a high stakes gambit to encourage Pyongyang to give up its nuclear arsenal. If it takes place, the summit would be the first time a U.S. president met with a North Korean leader.

Call me never satisfied but I wish he'd picked a different place than Singapore. I would not trust that place for anything with the President of the US.

And there will probably be more American GUNS in that city to guard the president than they've ever seen before...

This is what I was telling you. It's not over until Hillary sings.

More than likely. IIRC, guns are outlawed in Singapore. Only need one sniper and one rifle and as I said awhile back, that city is a trap.

Best guess: Flies in at airport and helo's to the rooftop of one of those skyrises. That's least risk.

I heard Michael Fay may be on hand.

If THAT bloated toad sings it probably WILL be over. My hearing if nothing else

Do you really think the SS would allow president Trump go there if they didn't have a reasonable idea that they could defend him?

Want REALLY want me to answer that? I get this notion in my head that it doesn't matter WHAT the SS says to Trump if he's determined to go. I expect they will have security set as well as they can. I've been in Singapore and that place would be a nightmare to set up security.

There are traditional locations with a lot less risk involved.
