PARANOID Kim Jong-un has surrounded himself with suited bodyguards while in Singapore for the nuke summit - while Donald Trump has snipers in the boot of his bomb proof limos.

Kim is reportedly terrified he will be assassinated while overseas on what will be his longest ever trip abroad as North Korean leader.

As he arrived, it transpired crafty Kim used two decoy jets, including his outdated Soviet-era Ilyushin-62 dubbed Air Force Un, which flew from Pyongyang to the south-east Asian city state.

And after slyly touching down in a third plane in Changi Airport last night, the pint-sized despot was ushered into a waiting black Mercedes.

His infamous suit-clad security detail was then spring into action, with footage showing the minders keeping pace with Kim’s official car.

Tellingly the 20-vehicle convoy included an ambulance.

Around a dozen delegates from the rogue state - many of whom looked to be of fighting aged in their 20s - were also seen getting off a bus before the crunch nuclear talks.

Before flying out to south-east Asia, Trump said he was on a "peace mission" while insisting he will know if he can strike a deal with the dictator “within the first minute” of their meeting.

The brash New Yorker flew to Singapore last night to prepare for the showdown summit.

As he left the G7 summit in Canada, Trump called on the diminutive despot to seize on his “one-time shot” to make history and agree to disarm in exchange for economic prosperity.

Boasting of his deal making prowess, the US President insisted on the chances of success: “I’ll know within the first minute. My touch, my feel, that’s what I do.

“You know how they say you know whether you’re going to like someone in the first five seconds?

“Very quickly I think I’ll know if something positive is going to happen”.

After a choppy run up to their meeting, Republican firebrand refused to put odds on the chances of winning a peace deal for North Korea to disarm.

He explained: “There has not been done before. Very little is known about him, but I think he is going to surprise on the upside.

“We’re going in with a very positive attitude, and I think it will be fine.

But who knows? Maybe it won’t work out.

“But at the minimum, but at least we would have met each other.”

Despite agreeing to the summit, Kim is still widely believed to think the US has a "hostile policy"; against him and would welcome a regime change.

There have also been reports of countries, including China, looking into ways of removing the leader by force.

Trump expressed his desire to invite the North Korean leader to the White House if the meeting at the £8,000-a-night luxury resort in Singapore goes smoothly.

The former reality TV star, 71, said he would prefer to welcome Kim to the White House over his luxury Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, Florida.

"Maybe we'll start with the White House," he told reporters at a press conference alongside Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.
