SINGAPORE - The black Mercedes-Benz limousines used in last year's Trump-Kim summit in Singapore may have been obtained illegally by North Korea, according to a United Nations (UN) panel of experts.
A report released last week by the panel on its investigations into North Korea's breach of UN sanctions also claimed that "there may have been a sanction violation" by Singapore for allowing North Korea officials to come on a study trip of its port facilities.
