Eight months after the first summit, Vietnam’s Capitol Hanoi is prepping for the arrival of two of the world’s leaders. In support, a barbershop within the capitol is offering Trump- and Kim-styled haircuts for those who wish to look like the leaders.  

The exact location in Hanoi may not be revealed, but Tuan Duong Beauty Academy, owned by Le Tuan Duong will be offering the haircuts until the last day of the two-day summit on February 28th, according to Reuters.  

On Tuesday, nine-year-old To Gia Huy told Reuters after his Kim-styled haircut: “I feel happy with his haircut because people will think I look like the leader of North Korea.”  

Also, on Tuesday, Le Phuc Hai had his hair dyed and styled like President Donald Trump, telling Reuters that he was relaxing by a nearby lake when Le Tuan Duong asked him if he would like the cut, saying: “I like Donald Trump’s haircut. It looks great and fits my age.”  

The summit on February 27-28 will be the second time the leaders meet since their June summit in 2018 to improve peace and relations between both countries and for the eventual denuclearization of North Korea.  

President Trump also announced details for the summit during his February State of the Union address saying: “As a part of a bold new diplomacy, we continue our historic push for peace on the Korean Peninsula.”  

He also added: “Our hostages have come home, nuclear testing has stopped, and there has not been a missile launch in 15 months.”
