An Australian comedian known for his impersonations of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un was briefly detained by police in Singapore and questioned about his political views, according to Reuters.
The impersonator, who only identified himself as Howard X, said he was stopped by police officers at the Changi Airport and detained for about two hours.
"[They] asked me what my political views were and if I have been involved with protests in other countries," the impersonator said.
"They said, 'It’s the Trump-Kim summit, you’ve come at a very sensitive time,'" Howard X explained.
