Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) called on the White House on Tuesday to remove an image of Kim Jong Un from a coin meant to commemorate the planned summit next month between the North Korean dictator and President Trump.
Schumer’s call, made via Twitter, came a day after media reports surfaced about the design of the “challenge coin,” which features likenesses of both Trump and Kim, who is described on the coin as his nation’s “Supreme Leader.”
Such coins are typically minted in advance of presidential trips abroad, and Schumer said in his tweet that issuing one to mark the meeting between Trump and Kim in Singapore on June 12 was “certainly appropriate.” But, Schumer said, “Kim Jong Un’s face has no place on this coin.”

“He is a brutal dictator and something like the Peace House would be much more appropriate,” Schumer said, referring to a venue in the demilitarized zone along the border of South Korea and North Korea that has been used for previous peace talks.

Maybe a golf tournament would solve this?
Premature and ridiculous. They already have fame and money and that is all they really want in the long run.
