	Two worlds will collide when Donald Trump meets Kim Jong Un in Singapore. The 72-year-old billionaire known for his round-the-clock Twitter outbursts will sit face-to-face with the 30-something Leninist who rarely leaves his isolated nation.<br />
	<br />
	The men represent vastly different countries. Trump commands the world&#39;s largest economy and most powerful military, while Kim leads an impoverished state that has diverted scarce resources to build a nuclear arsenal to shield the regime from a U.S. attack.</div>
