Among the historic images and videos to emerge from President Donald Trump’s summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un on Tuesday was a clip featuring the presidential limousine.
The heavily fortified and extensively modified vehicle, known informally as “The Beast,” was the central attraction in a video featuring the two world leaders.
Kim appeared impressed with the interior of the massive limo when Trump gave a Secret Service agent the signal to open its doors.
According to Fox News, the quick clip was captured during this week’s summit on Singapore’s Sentosa Island.
Cameras showed Trump and Kim exit the site of the hours-long summit. That meeting resulted in both men signing a document pledging to take broad steps toward peace.
“President Trump committed to provide security guarantees to the DPRK and Chairman Kim Jong Un reaffirmed his unwavering commitment to complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula,” the preamble of the agreement states.
In addition to discussing the weighty issues at hand during the summit, Trump and Kim ate lunch together following the one-on-one portion of the day’s diplomatic discussions, Time reported.
Along with diplomats and state officials from both nations, Trump and Kim dined on traditional Korean fare including a stuffed cucumber appetizer known as oiseon and a cod dish called Daegu jorim.
For dessert, the options included a Western favorite: vanilla Haagen-Dazs ice cream with cherry sauce.
After lunch, Trump and Kim stepped outside to view the limousine.
