S1E2: Why It Matters EP 2: What the Trump-Kim summit (if it happens) means for Singapore

Why It Matters Episode 2 Duration: 10:45 mins Synopsis: In this new podcast series for 2018, The Straits Times takes a close look at one key news talking point each week.   US President Donald Trump is to meet North Korea's leader Kim Jong Un in Singapore on June 12 for a historic meeting. But with recent North Korean threats to cancel the summit if Washington seeks to push Pyongyang into giving up its nuclear arsenal, will the meeting still happen and what are the possible venues?   Host and ST's deputy news editor Jeremy Au Yong dissects the issue with ST's foreign editor Zakir Hussain and senior aviation correspondent Karamjit Kaur.   Produced by: Jeremy Au Yong & Ernest Luis   Feedback to: [email protected]   Download ST & BT podcasts for offline listening: http://str.sg/stbtpodcasts   On website: http://str.sg/stpodcasts   On Spotify: https://spoti.fi/2PwZCYU   On iTunes: https://apple.co/2Lu4rPP   On Google podcasts: http://str.sg/googlestbt See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
