“North Korea can build nukes and ICBMs, but claim they are too poor to pay for foreign travel costs,” Sung-Yoon Lee, a Korea expert at Tufts University, told the Post.

Singapore’s defense minister Ng Eng Hen on Saturday told reporters the small yet rich city-state in Southeast Asia is open to pitching in to cover some expenses for the summit.
