It was a 3 day train ride to Vietnam, not 3 hours! Trump's tweet: https://magaimg.net/img/7ebs.png However, it was a 2 1/2 day train ride. Why would this information be important? Kim Jong Un took a laborious 2.5-day train ride to meet Trump in Vietnam, and it could be because he's too embarrassed to borrow a plane from China North Korean leader Kim Jong Un is taking a 2,000-mile, 2-1/2-day train ride to meet US President Donald Trump in Vietnam this Wednesday, most likely to save face because he doesn't want to ask China to lend him a plane. Kim boarded his family's armored train at Pyongyang Station on Saturday evening, and he arrived in the Vietnamese capital of Hanoi on Tuesday morning, the day before his summit is scheduled there with Trump. Kim left his train at Dong Dang, a Vietnamese town by the Chinese border, early Tuesday morning and traveled the last 105 miles or so to Hanoi by car. According to INSIDER's calculations, the trip spanned at least 2,000 miles. Kim crossed into Dandong, a Chinese city bordering North Korea, late Saturday, The Associated Press reported. The trip took him through southeastern China before eventually arrived in Vietnam. He passed by the southeastern Chinese city of Hengyang around Monday afternoon local time, South Korea's Yonhap news agency reported. Footage Japan's TBS news channel showed Kim taking a cigarette break as the train took a quick stop in Nanning, southern China, before dawn on Tuesday. His sister, Kim Yo Jong, can be seen carrying a crystal ash tray for him. Article: https://www.businessinsider.com/kim-takes-train-to-trump-vietnam-summit-likely-to-save-face-with-china-2019-2
