North Korean leader Kim Jong Un is reportedly anxious about the planned summit with US President Donald Trump in Singapore next month, The Washington Post reported, citing sources familiar with the preparations.
According to the report, Kim is less concerned about meeting Trump than he is about what might happen at home in Pyongyang while he's gone.
Kim is purportedly concerned that the trip to Singapore may leave his regime vulnerable to a military coup or that other hostile actors might try to depose him, sources told The Post. The Kim dynasty has ruled North Korea since its inception following the end of the Korean War in 1953.
Rumors of a simmering military revolt in North Korea are precisely the kind of thing that emboldened Kim to keep a tight grip on power over the years.
