Will Kim Jong-un Visit Samsung Factory During Summit in Vietnam?
It looks like Kim Jong-un may visit a Samsung factory during his trip to Vietnam. I suspect that such a visit will be used to further the perception that he has changed and really wants to advance the DPRK economy and thus why sanctions should be dropped before denuclearization:
A senior North Korean official is believed to have looked around areas near a smartphone factory in Vietnam owned by South Korean tech giant Samsung Electronics Co., sources said Sunday.
Yonhap
The move is prompting speculation that North Korean leader Kim Jong-un may seek to visit the Samsung factory when he travels to Vietnam for his second summit with U.S. President Donald Trump.
Kim Chang-son, known as North Korean leader Kim Jong-un’s de facto chief of staff, and other officials arrived in Hanoi Saturday to check logistics for a second summit between Trump and Kim slated for Feb. 27-28.

So, if he’s given a couple dozen laptops and phones as souvenirs, will that be a violation of the sanctions?
Based on my experience with Damsung laptops, it might be an act of war against Norkistan. And if the cell phones are Note 7s…
They want to inspect the company that they will be taking over and controlling in the near future.
Fat Leader will go to the factory hoping for free stuff. Even though he doesn’t need it , the greedy just can’t help themselves.
Bet he goes home with a new Galaxy S10!
