Current Events > US is trying to find a way to pay for Kim Jong Un's hotel during Summit

(+) Yeah! (+)

The prideful but cash-poor pariah state requires that a foreign country foot the bill at its preferred lodging: The Fullerton, a magnificent neoclassical hotel near the mouth of the Singapore River where just one presidential suite costs more than $6,000 per night.

When it comes to paying for lodging at North Koreas preferred 5-star luxury hotel, the United States is open to covering the costs, the two people said, but its mindful that Pyongyang may view a U.S. payment as insulting. As a result, U.S. planners are considering asking the host country of Singapore to pay for the North Korean delegations bill.
