An enthusiastic crowd was there to greet and welcome Chairman Kim in Dong Dang where his train arrived before proceeding by road to Hanoi, the venue of the upcoming second highstakes summit with President Trump.

Kim, who is overly suspicious of the United States and the west is said to travel with his own toilet everywhere he goes because he fears his stool (faeces) may be stolen for sampling. Reports also indicate that his limousine has a special place for his toilet that is always by his side.
