The day of the historic and highly-anticipated summit is officially here, guys!
Today (12th June), North Korean leader Kim Jong-un and President of the United States Donald J. Trump will be discussing a number of issues pertaining both of their respective nations during the summit. According to The Guardian, the main focus will reportedly be the fate of North Korea’s nuclear weapons programme, among other topics such as peace-keeping in the Korean peninsula.
Earlier on Sunday evening (10th June), Kim Jong-un arrived in the city-state, accompanied by his bodyguards who were jogging alongside his car as he arrived at the St Regis Hotel.
A similar scene which went viral also occurred during the historic meeting between the North Korean Leader and South Korean President Moon Jae-in earlier this year on 27th April 2018.
