US President Donald Trump pulled out all the stops to impress North Korean leader Kim Jong Un during the Singapore Summit, showing a video that was made to look like a Hollywood movie trailer starring both of them.
The video was screened before the news conference President Trump held on Monday and was exactly as bizarre as you thought it would be. In fact, The Washington Post said that the reporters who were in the room at the time thought it was a North Korean propaganda film. Only when the video was played once again, this time in English instead of Korean, and Trump walked on stage to talk about it did it become clear that it had been commissioned by the White House for Kim Jong Un.
The White House later posted the video on its Facebook page and Trump revealed its name on Twitter: A Story of Opportunity.
