Preparations are underway in Singapore for the highly anticipated summit between President Trump and North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un, set to take place on Tuesday.
Reporters arriving in the Asian city-state are sharing photos on Twitter of the various ways the country is preparing for its role as the host nation for one of the most historic meetings of the century. So far, visitors and citizens have been entertained by a mixture of parties, food specials, and impersonators.
Impersonators of the two leaders have been spotted at malls on the streets in the area surrounding the luxury Capella Singapore hotel on Sentosa Island where the historic meeting spot is scheduled to take place.

Kim Jong Un’s in Singapore? The fake one that is! The Hong Kong-based impersonator says he was stopped for questioning upon arrival at Changi Airport. My story on what he had to say about the situation here: ?????? #TrumpKimSummit https://t.co/19YJLmnDDz via @bpolitics pic.twitter.com/cf3T3FNLUe

One Bloomberg reporter also shared a GIF of the “Bromance” drink which displays Trump and Kim’s heads and is being served at a local bar.
This Trump-Kim summit inspired cocktail is called Bromance. Not sure if the fact Kim Jong Un’s shot spilled over instead of dropping in is an ominous sign? Spotted by Bloomberg reporter @messageannkoh being served at Hopheads bar in Singapore. #TrumpKimSummit #tictocnews pic.twitter.com/mjIpOxhf7X

Drinks and impersonators aren’t the only things being served ahead of the summit, local eateries are also serving the “Summit-wich,” a Trump-Kim burger, and Singapore-based KFC chains are serving the “Four Peace” meal.
