Trump summit on a golf course

KIM Jong-un and Donald Trump could talk nukes over a game of golf if the US President has his way.

According to media reports in the US, President Trump is keen on playing 18 holes with the North Korean leader depending on how they get along at their historic summit in Singapore next week.

The summit will be held at the Capella Hotel on the resort island of Sentosa, which is also home to one of the world’s best golf courses at the Sentosa Golf Club.

Mr Trump’s love of golf is legendary, he has played more than 100 times since his inauguration, and considers the links a place to talk business and “seal a deal.” He has already played a round with Japanese PM Shinzo Abe and may now do so with Mr Kim.

It has also been reported Mr Trump is open to the idea of inviting the North Korean dictator to play at his Mar-a-Lago estate and private club in Palm Beach, Florida.

Mr Trump has previously boasted that he is “the best golfer of rich people”.

But he has been accused of “cheating like hell”.

It is not known if Kim Jongun is a golfer but his father certainly was said to be.

According to North Korean state media, Kim Jong-il hit 11 holes-in-one in his first ever round, in which he is said to have shot an incredible 38under par at the Pyongyang Golf Course in 1994.

According to Mr Trump’s lawyer Rudy Giuliani, Kim Jong-un was so desperate for the meeting between the US and North Korea that he begged to reschedule it.

Mr Giuliani told a business conference in Israel that Mr Trump’s tough line had forced the North Korean leader’s hand.

Mr Giuliani said there was no choice but to cancel the June 12 summit after Mr Kim insulted the US vice-president and threatened nuclear war.

“We said, ‘Well, we’re not going to have a summit under those circumstances’,” Mr Giuliani said. “Well, Kim Jong-un got back on his hands and knees and begged for it, which is exactly the position you want to put him in.”

The summit is now back on for next Tuesday in Singapore.

Mr Giuliani suggested similar tactics should be used with the Palestinian Authority, which has cut off ties with the US to protest Mr Trump’s decision to recognise contested Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.

“They have to be seeking peace. You gotta change the dynamic and put the pressure on them,” Mr Giuliani said.
