POISON PEN
Mystery over why Kim Jong-un’s sister swapped his official signing pen with her own at historic Trump summit
MYSTERY surrounds why Kim Jong-un’s sister suddenly stepped in to swap a pen - oddly embossed with Donald Trump's signature - which had been provided to sign the historic Singapore nuke deal.
Footage shows the bizarre episode unfold, starting with one of the dictator’s minders - who was wearing white gloves - picking up the ballpoint and examining it before Kim Yo-jong appears beside her brother to hand him her own one.

The secretive state is known to equip its spies with covert weapons disguised as pens after a would-be assassin was caught trying to murder a defector in South Korea.
One shown to a CNN reporter fired bullets while another contained a poison needle.

While the tyrant - who only recently has ventured from his hermit kingdom - seemed relaxed during his trip, there was evidence of intense paranoia among the North Korean delegation.
For one he sent two decoy planes to the historic meeting with Donald Trump.
When he arrived he was surrounded by a squad of infamous bodyguards who were spotted jogging alongside the dictator's car and who would also form a human shield around him when he ventured out of his hotel for a night out.

When Kim sent Trump an enormous letter before the summit, the President had the secret service test it before he read it.
Perhaps it was Donald’s own paranoia that led to him to want to provide the pens at the Singapore summit - something that was betrayed by his signature being embossed on them.
