A pair of men impersonating North Korean leader Kim Jong-un and US President Donald Trump have made an appearance in downtown Hanoi days before an expected summit between the two leaders.

Photos published by the local news site zing.com showed the two men, both sporting the signature of haircuts of Kim and Trump respectively, shaking hands on the steps of the Hanoi Opera House in a mock diplomatic ceremony.
