ROUGH CUT.

Fake North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and U.S. President Donald Trump are in town, ready for "some good dialogue", ahead of the real leaders' second summit next week.

The Trump and Kim impersonators, Russell White and Howard X respectively, shook hands in front of the Metropole Hotel in the Vietnamese capital on Friday (January 22) -- both kitted out in the familiar garb, with a little make up to help the look along.

"Last time we did it in Singapore, which is kind of his (Trump's) territory.

Now, you're (Trump) in my territory, with my comrades," said Howard X, when asked why Hanoi was chosen as the venue for talks.

Vietnam is North Korea's Cold-War communist ally.

The real Trump and Kim are set to meet in Hanoi next Wednesday (February 27) and Thursday (February 28).

The pair held their first historic meeting in June 2018 in Singapore, where Kim pledged to work towards the complete denuclearization of the Korean peninsula.
