Trump-Kim summit: Kim Jong Un believed to be on Chinese private jet to Singapore

BEIJING - A Chinese private jet was spotted leaving Pyongyang on Sunday morning, just an hour after it landed in the North Korean capital, according to a flight route-tracking website.

Korean news agency Yonhap reported that the plane, operated by Air China, was detected at the airport by Flightradar24 at 8.30am (7.30am Singapore time). It had arrived at the same airport at 7.20am local time, after leaving Beijing leaving Beijing Capital International Airport at 4.18am.

It is not known if North Korean leader Kim Jong Un got on the plane. Mr Kim, whose official title is Chairman of the State Affairs Commission of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, is expected to arrive in Singapore later on Sunday for the anticipated summit with US President Donald Trump.

Yonhap said the Boeing 747-4J6 plane is known to be a private jet used by the Chinese government for its top officials, including President Xi Jinping

Purposely avoiding Malaysian airspace? Scene of the crime?

Decoy? Didn’t stay long on the ground. Is AF One the same type of plane? I read Kim wanted equal travel appearance.

LOL!
I guess we have an opening for Governor in California since Moonbeam is going off to pasture.
Lil' Kim would fit in as our new dear leader. You don't need to be a citizen to take up residence in this State, and I'm sure we can't discriminate against illegal aliens in case they decide to run for office. Because that would be just too darn intolerant.
He could take our commie-dom to a whole 'nother level. Although compared to the current gang running the State - he'd probably come across as too conservative.

Fantastic - he has a better career here in the USA than he does in that sh*thole N. Korea. He could have a nice cushy job in the Snake from any Blue state.

Maybe Trump will learn from Kim how to get things solved domestically with hungry dogs and AA guns.

Summits are a 2 way street.

Trump needs to reach out and touch the domestic enemy WASHINGTONIAN degenerates that are out to ENSLAVE us by all means necessary.

It’s not going to happen by plating by the rules.

You know your gdp is in trouble when the country’s leader is driving a refurb Soviet jet from the 60’s that won’t make the trip to another part of the region.
