Donald Trump and Kim Jong-un: Vietnam summit approaches – All the latest updates
If you have never seen the man who wants to “Make America Great Again” and the man who owns one of the most advanced nuclear technologies in the world in real flesh, this may be a one-in-a-million chance for you to get a “ VIP access” to the “live show”! No need to ask because the name “Donald Trump” and “Kim Jong Un” are filling all covers of not only Vietnamese magazines and newspapers but also the world’s!
If you ask the locals what the hottest news in Vietnam right now is, we would be glad to provide a list of headings! “Summit 2019: America and North Korea”, “Donald Trump and Kim Jong Un are going to encounter at America-North Korea Summit in Vietnam this February” or “Why Vietnam is chosen to be the summit host?” As we and very many others who cannot take the heat, we just want to give a big announcement that the two great leaders Donald Trump and Kim Jong Un are going to meet at the summit which is expected to build upon their agreement to “work toward complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula”in Hanoi, Vietnam from this 27th – 28th February 2019.
Before the important event, many big magazines and stations have gathered around, day and night, at different governmental organizations as well as Diplomatic department to get the latest news about the following summit. As information provided on open electronic media, as soon as receiving the notice for becoming the host selected from other countries such as Thailand or Singapore, Vietnam only had about 10 days to get prepared for the official event day!
Mingling with the exciting atmosphere, not only local authorities but also Vietnamese citizens, especially Hanoians have been busy getting everything ready for the summit. Now on the streets, particularly the central ones as the Old Quarter, Huế, Hai Bà Trưng, Hoàn Kiếm or Tràng Tiền, you will see new trees being planted and colorful flower baskets hung over sign poles, light poles or even electronic poles! The city is getting alive!
Not only the streets but the people are becoming busier than ever! In a few clothing stores, white shirts printed with Vietnamese, North Korean and American flags are on display. In a few others, Áo Dài with American and North Korean flag-patterned is also garnered behind the glass windows!
A part from clothing stores, souvenir stores are also taking their chance to bring the latest products to the market from 2019 Summit key chains to caps and shirts along with Vietnamese traditional products such as calligraphy. Besides the summit’s information, what many people will probably ask is “where will Mr. Trump and Mr. Kim stop by to eat?” Well, if you still remember Bún Chả Obama then you should take this chance to discover what Mr. Trump’s and Mr. Kim’s favorite Vietnamese dish is!
So if you are ready, let us “bring the house down” with Donald Trump and Kim Jong Un in Vietnam this 27th!
