Trump’s press secretary Sarah Sanders confirmed the issue by a tweet that read: "UPDATE: The venue for the Singapore summit between @POTUS and Leader Kim Jong Un will be the Capella Hotel on Sentosa Island. We thank our great Singaporean hosts for their hospitality."

The meeting is scheduled to take place on June 12.

The US government on Monday said it is preparing for the June 12 meeting between President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.

"On North Korea, we are actively preparing for the June 12 summit between the President and the North Korean leader.  The advance team in Singapore is finalizing logistical preparations and will remain in place until the summit begins,"  White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said during a press briefing.

"In the DMZ, the U.S. Ambassador’s delegation continues diplomatic negotiations with the North Korean delegation.  Discussions have been very positive, and significant progress has been made," she said.

Ending all speculations since its scrapping, US President Donald Trump on Friday confirmed that his meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un will take place on June 12.

The meeting will take place in Singapore.

Trump made the announcement after his meeting with an envoy from North Korea. The meeting took place in the White House.

"The envoy, General Kim Yong-chol, hand-delivered a letter from the North Korean leader to President Trump," BBC reported.

Speaking to reporters in the White House, Trump said: "The meeting went very well.  We’ll be meeting on June 12th in Singapore.  It went very well.  It’s really a get-to-know-you kind of a situation."

"Mike has spent two days doing this.  We’ve gotten to know their people very well.  And we will — you people are going to have to travel because you’ll be in Singapore on June 12th," he said.

He said it was a positive thing that relationship between the US and North Korea is building.

"And I think it’ll be a process.  It’s not — I never said it goes in one meeting.  I think it’s going to be a process.  But the relationships are building, and that’s a very positive thing," he said.

Earlier, US had cancelled the meeting with North Korean leader.

At the end of last month, Trump had hinted that the meeting between the two leaders might still take place on June 12.

"We are having very productive talks with North Korea about reinstating the Summit which, if it does happen, will likely remain in Singapore on the same date, June 12th., and, if necessary, will be extended beyond that date," Trump's tweet read on May 26.

The Singapore talks might witness the first meeting between sitting US and North Korean leaders.

Bitter previous US-North Korea relationship:

The move appears to be a major breakthrough after months of barbs exchanged between North Korea and the US.

Fresh development in the relationship between North Korea, South Korea and the US began recently when a North Korea  delegation was invited to the Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang.

2017 witnessed US President Donald Trump slamming North Korean leader Kim Jong-un as the Asian nation continued to conduct several of its missile tests, teasing world peace and tranquillity and often threatening to trigger a war.

Situation became far tensed when North Korea tested an inter-continental ballistic missile (ICBM) that the nation said was capable of striking US mainland.

The United Nations Security Council imposed strong new sanctions against the Asian nation after its Nov 29 launch of a  nuclear-capable weapon.

Trump and North Korea continued to exchange barbs earlier this year too.
