Singapore Rolls Out a Fancy Fancy for the Trump-Kim Summit
Hey, listen up! On a sunny Tuesday, Singapore decided to get all gleamy with a shiny medallion for the upcoming U.S.–North Korea summit. It’s the kind of trinket that really says “World Peace” in big shiny letters on one side.
What’s on the Badges?
- Side One: A dazzling dove clutching an olive branch (because everyone loves a classic peace signal) flanked by a rose and a magnolia, the national blossoms of the U.S. and North Korea. It’s basically a botanical hand‑shake.
- Side Two: Picture this – two hands clasped tight in a high‑five (or handshake, whatever you call it) with both flags proudly displayed and the headline date for that June 12 showdown. It’s the summit’s official “buddy‑system” badge.
Price‑Tag: Spoiler Alert, It’s Expensive!
Metite has slapped a $1,000+ price tag on the gold version (about 751.26 pounds). If you’re looking to brag about your love for diplomacy, this is the ultimate brag accessory.
Why is this a Big Deal?
Donald Trump and Kim Jong Un are about to sit across from each other for the first time ever. After months of a word war that would make your inbox sizzle, this meeting is all about finally chatty‑talking the nuclear weapons issue into oblivion (or at least putting a hold on it) in exchange for sweet deals from the West.
Singapore: Switzerland of the East?
Little Southeast Asian gem Singapore is known for keeping its diplomatic feet in both the East and the West. They’re the regional “neutral” icon, much like Switzerland but with more skyline vibes. Back in 2015, they even hosted the groundbreaking Taiwan‑China leaders’ meet‑up, showing off their capability to juggle heavy stuff.
I’m Not Sure Where They’re Meeting Yet, But Singapore Is All In
Though the exact venue’s still under wraps, Singapore’s giving the world a “special event zone” that includes the foreign ministry, U.S. embassy, and swanky hotel chains like Shangri‑La. It’s all about that prime location for reporters and delegates.
Let the Drinks Flow
Plus, local pubs won’t let you miss out: themed beverages are rolling out to woo the thousands of journalists and delegates heading to the city. It’s a cocktail of diplomacy, glitz, and basically the best place to toast the world’s future.
