It will be the first time that a North Korean leader has met with a sitting US president. Sentosa is one of 63 islands that make up Singapore, but has a somewhat dark history. Despite being home to luxury resorts, private marinas and pristine golf courses, it has a very violent piracy reputation and was the site of a massacre during World War II. It also hosted a prisoner-of-war camp. The island took on the name Sentosa, meaning “peace and tranquillity”, when it was re-imagined into a tourism site by the Singaporean government in the 1970s.

Here’s how Donald Trump reportedly reacted to Tom Brady’s decision to not visit the White House last year
Tom Brady was one of several dozen New England Patriots players who skipped the team’s ceremonial Super Bowl visit to the White House last year. Unlike some of his teammates who stayed home in opposition to President Donald Trump, Brady missed the celebratory event to spend time with his ailing mother. Still, that rationale reportedly didn’t assuage Trump’s feelings when he wouldn’t get to see his favorite quarterback on the South Lawn. More than a year later, a Washington Post report Monday night pulled back the curtain on the “chaotic” scene aboard Air Force One the day before the Patriots’ visit. Flying back from an event in Wisconsin, Trump reportedly “grew angry” and even paid Patriots owner (and longtime friend) Robert Kraft a phone call. Here’s how the Post described the entire episode: Trump grew angry in April 2017 when Tom Brady said he planned to skip the White House visit with the Patriots, huddling … [Read more...] about Here’s how Donald Trump reportedly reacted to Tom Brady’s decision to not visit the White House last year
