Dandong Station showed no signs of preparations for the arrival of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un’s armored train as of Thursday at midday, a source told NK News from on location, as questions remain over how Kim will travel to Vietnam for his summit with U.S. President Donald Trump next week.
The lack of activity at the border crossing means it is unlikely Kim will begin a train journey to Hanoi on Thursday, though it remains possible he may make the trip in the coming days.
