Meeting of the Century pictured and displayed in North Korea

Donald Trump’s has appeared on the front page of North Korea’s main state newspaper, the first time the overwhelming majority of the country’s citizens will have seen his picture.

Rodong Sinmun, the official paper of the Central Committee of the ruling Workers’ Party of Korea, featured 33 photos of the country’s leader Kim Jong-un and the US President.

The appearance of the US president in the North Korean media comes after he appeared to pave the way for more meetings with Kim, including a possible visit to the White House by the dictator.

Rodong Sinmun has previously condemned the United States as a ‘gangster-like imperialist’ and ‘cancer-like entity’ but many of the pictures featured Trump and Kim smiling together.

It dubbed the summit in Singapore ‘the meeting of the century’ on its front page.
