SINGAPORE (Reuters) - Trade between Singapore and North Korea could grow if U.N. sanctions against it are lifted, the city-state's prime minister, Lee Hsien Loong, said on Sunday, as his country prepared to host a historic U.S.- North Korea summit.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un landed in Singapore on Sunday for a summit with U.S. President Donald Trump, which could end a nuclear stand-off between the old foes and transform secretive, impoverished North Korea.
