KFC has waded into political territory, offering the US President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un a tongue-in-cheek meal option while in Singapore.
Dubbed the "Four Peace" meal, KFC bespoke offering includes four pieces of chicken, two whipped potatoes, two coleslaws and two beverages.
