President Lee accepts Trump's golf invitation, receives signed pen

South Korean President Lee Jae-myung has accepted an invitation from former U.S. President Donald Trump for a golf outing, signaling a potential continuation of their interactions. The two leaders recently met for a dinner where Trump presented Lee with a pen he had used for signing documents.

Lee shared that he believes Trump's gift of the signed pen was a thoughtful gesture, possibly referencing a pen Lee had previously given Trump during their first summit. This exchange highlights a personal rapport developing between the two political figures.

“

My wife made a promise with her finger, and when we parted after lunch today, he said again that we should play golf together.

The president also indicated that the proposed golf match is more than just a casual remark. He mentioned that his wife had secured a promise from Trump, and that Trump reiterated the invitation upon their departure. Lee suggested that preparations for the golf game might be necessary, implying the engagement is likely to take place.

I thought it was just a passing remark, but I think I need to prepare.
