But the US would need to circumvent its own sanctions against the rogue nation.
The peace talks are set for The Fullerton Hotel Singapore on June 12.
A rack rate room goes for $415 that night but a super-luxurious suite, befitting a world leader, could go for as much as $6,000, the newspaper said.
The hermit kingdom reportedly requires that all of Kim’s lodging bills are picked up by another country.
The US is open to paying for Kim. But first, Trump’s team would have to get around its own economic sanctions against North Korea — by obtaining a waiver from the Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control. [NY Post]
You can read more at the link, but it is amazing how shameless the Kim regime is about having other people pick up their tabs. They kind of remind me of this woman who recently made headlines in New York City.
Situation normal. KJU getting over and no QPQ. I suppose fatty will take his own porta-potty.

I had an Army friend who worked at the Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command (JPAC) in the ’90s. He made multiple trips into North Korea for one-month remains recovery missions. Before the trips, they would have to meet North Koreans in places like Singapore and Malaysia to work out the details for the missions. Part of the deal was paying the per diem for the North Korean side. He said typically at the first meeting, before any other business could take place, the North Koreans would demand the per diem be payed in cash, in full.
And on top of that, he said the US side found out that the North Koreans never stayed at a hotel – they all stayed at the North Korean embassy. So the per diem was just a cash grab.

Fatty is going to live it up in SG. Don’t see him slumming it at the embassy but the other staffers could be another story.
