Kim, Trump may discuss construction of casino in North Korea

Donald Trump & Kim Jong Un

Kim Yong Chol, North Korean dictator Kim Jong Unā€™s top aide and special envoy, reportedly called on the United States to support a plan to build a world-class resort in the eastern port city of Wonsan in a meešŸ’žting with US President Donald Trump.

In his meetinź¦—g with Trump at the Whź¦›ite House, Kim Yong Chol said of North Koreaā€™s plan to create an international tourist destination with a casino in Wonsan city and ski resort in Masikryong,

The tourist area, if constructed, will be able to gš“‚ƒenerate about US$ 50 million a year, according to the South Korean governmentā€™s estimation. This would be quite a contribution to the rogue nationā€™s economy given that its annual trade volume stands at a mere US$ 7 billion.

The massive construction plan is interpreted as the regimeā€™s decision to overā™Œcome economic hardship and isolation by prošŸƒmoting itself as a premier casino and tourism destination.

Trump and Kim Jong Un are scą½§heduled to meet for a historic dialogue in Singapore on 12th June. The hermit nation already has one casino in the capital city Pyongyang where visitors and tourists are allowed to gamble.
