-Source-ABC news- After months of on-again off-again speculation and high-stakes closed-door meetings President Donald Trump will sit down with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un for a historic summit in Singapore on Tuesday. Its the first meeting between leaders of the two countries which are technically still at war with one another and in a tense nuclear stand-off over North Koreas illicit nuclear weapons program. The meeting on Tuesday has the world on edge -- will it be a breakthrough moment with two leaders uniquely suited for the moment or will it end disastrously and inch the crisis closer to war? We are going to have a great success Trump pledged Thursday at the White House. But its unclear what success is to Trump - or Kim. WHAT WILL THE SUMMIT LOOK LIKE? The logistics of the summit have been painstakingly hammered out by U.S. and North Korean delegations meeting in Singapore over the last couple weeks. White House Deputy Chief of Staff Joe Hagin has led the U.S. team as they determined key details of protocol -- such as who walks in the room first who gets a seat at the table and where the meeting will be. White House press secretary Sarah Sanders announced last week the Capella Hotel on Sentosa Island as the location. Sentosa is a small resort island just off Singapores main island likely chosen for its isolation and controlled access as security has been a key priority for both sides. In particular North Korea is said to be concerned about assassination attempts against Kim who is traveling further away from North Korea than he ever has.
