Singapore (CNN)President Donald Trump touched down in this Southeast Asian city-state Sunday evening, 36 hours before his highly anticipated summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un is set to kick off.

Trump arrived on Air Force One at Singapore's Paya Lebar Air Base at 8:21 p.m. local time, where he was greeted by Singapore's Foreign Minister Vivian Balakrishnan. Kim arrived at Singapore's commercial airport on an Air China Boeing 747 just more than five hours earlier.

Trump, asked by reporters as he arrived in Singapore how feels about the summit, said "very good" before climbing into his limousine and heading to the hotel.

The US President flew to Singapore from Canada, where he participated in an especially contentious G7 summit that came after he triggered a trade dispute with several of the US' closest allies.

1. Trump can announce negotiation of a favorable trade agreement

North Korea will agree to put no tariffs on the $29.95 worth of US products their foreign currency reserves will allow them to buy from us. That should make up for a half-trillion dollars worth of lost trade with the EU, Japan and Canada, right?

2. No problems here -

I "wrote" the ART OF THE DEAL!

Give me ONE MINUTE and I will know him!


See how they love me at the G7 (we need Russia to join ASAP)

3. All this for a Photo Op with the Orange Clown

Of all the clowns to take a picture with, he’s taking one that’s the most incompetent and the most manipulating.

4. And after Trump say one thing at the G-7 meeting

and then the exact opposite after he leave, how does he expect Kim to believe anything he says at the meeting? Of course it goes both ways.
