SINGAPORE: Kim Jong Un and Donald Trump were heading for Singapore on Sunday for an unprecedented summit in an attempt to address the last festering legacy of the Cold War, with the US President calling it a "one time shot" at peace. Bringing the Korean War to a formal end 65 years after hostilities ceased will also be on the table at the first-ever summit between a North Korean leader and a sitting president of its "imperialist enemy". Authorities imposed tight security around the summit venue and related luxury hotels -- including installing extra pot plants outside one contender for Kim's accommodation to obstruct reporters' views. He has also dangled the prospect of Kim Jong Un visiting Washington if the meeting goes well. Kim has met twice with both Moon and Xi Jinping, the president of China, long the North's most important ally.
