North Korea’s government put on a display of what could be germaphobia, paranoia or a grounded fear of snooping as an aide carefully swabbed a pen before Kim Jong-un signed a joint statement in Singapore.

In the moments before Kim sat down with President Donald Trump to ink a joint statement after the first meeting between leaders of the two countries, a male security aide wearing white gloves grabbed the black pen laid out for Kim’s use.

As the world watched at around 2 am New York time, a member of Kim’s security team swabbed the instrument repeatedly with a white cloth of some kind.

Then, when Kim and Trump entered the room, Kim’s sister, Kim Yo-jong, reached in front of her brother and provided him with a different pen that she took from a pocket in her jacket.
