Trump showed Kim a fake movie trailer about 'two men, two leaders, one destiny'
When President Trump and Kim Jong Un kicked off their summit in Singapore with a one-on-one meeting, Trump brought along his iPad to show Kim a fake movie trailer put together by the White House.
The four-minute clip shows scenes from North Korea, the United States, and important historical and cultural sites around the globe, with a classic Hollywood voiceover inviting Kim to change history. Now is North Korea's chance for a "new story, a new beginning," the trailer says. "One of peace. Two men, two leaders, one destiny. A story about a special moment in time, when a man is presented with one chance which may never be repeated. What will he choose? To show vision and leadership? Or not?"
