Putin offers Kim Jong-un a poisoned gift
Two weeks ago, the Russian president visited North Korea. And he did not visit Kim Jong-un empty-handed.
Vladimir Putin handed his North Korean counterpart a luxurious limousine: according to Reuters news agency, it was an Aurus Senat by Sollers, a "Russian Rolls Royce." The price of an entry-level Sollers model is around 500,000 euros.
Imagine the two state leaders at the wheel of an imposing limousine, both with twinkling eyes. It was a striking scene that quickly went viral.
Knife in the back?
However, according to London-based Reuters news agency, which managed to get its hands on customs documents, certain parts of the limousine came from South Korea (Kim Jong-un's greatest enemy), including switches, sensors and programmable controls. Sollers allegedly imported various parts to produce his vehicles.
Will the North Korean president continue to smile at the wheel of his present?
