Kim Jong Un arrived in Singapore on Sunday, kicking off a landmark trip by the once-reclusive North Korean leader ahead of his historic summit with U.S. President Donald Trump.
Kim -- the first North Korean leader to visit the city-state -- flew in aboard a 747 flown by state-owned Air China Ltd. and greeted at Changi Airport by Singaporean Foreign Minister Vivian Balakrishnan. Crowds lined the streets as he traveled by motorcade to his hotel, the St. Regis. Trump was scheduled to arrive later this evening, after flying directly from G-7 meetings in Canada.
