特朗普当天早上通过社交媒体推特宣布了这一消息。
他写道：
"The highly anticipated meeting between Kim Jong Un and myself will take place in Singapore on June 12th. We will both try to make it a very special moment for World Peace!"
我与金正恩之间备受期待的会晤将于6月12日在新加坡举行。我们将努力让此次会晤成为世界和平的特殊时刻!
随后，新加坡外交部发文证实：
Singapore is pleased to host the meeting between the two leaders on June 12, said the ministry in a statement, adding, "we hope this meeting will advance prospects for peace in the Korean Peninsula."
新加坡欢迎两位领导人于6月12日的会晤。希望这次会晤能推进朝鲜半岛和平前景。
为什么选新加坡?
之所以青睐新加坡，是因为它的中立性(neutrality)优于其他更接近朝鲜首都平壤的地点。
Singapore is seen as a safe alternative. The island nation, a financial hub with a population of 5.6 million, has long been seen as a gateway between east and west. It is favoured by US officials because of its security, infrastructure and proven record of hosting international summits.
新加坡被视为一个安全的选择。新加坡人口560万，是金融中心，一直都是东西方交流的门户。美国官员青睐新加坡是因为其安全性、基础设施以及此前主办国际峰会的成功经验。
It is a US ally but hosts a North Korean embassy and has a long history of cooperation with Pyongyang.
新加坡是美国盟友，而朝鲜在新加坡也设有大使馆，朝新两国有长期合作。
