Donald Trump’s return to the Oval Office has plenty of people across the globe talking.
And in South Korea, the conversation isn’t only about policy.
NBC News reported Monday that South Korean president Yoon Suk Yeol “got out his golf clubs for the first time in eight years and resumed his golf practice” as he prepares to meet Trump in person.
The report stated Yoon and Trump had a phone call for 10 minutes after the election and they “agreed that we should meet in person soon.”
Trump is an avid golfer, and he even has spoke recently about being able to bridge the rift in professional golf. Rory McIlroy said last week he thought Trump’s election win was positive for the game.
The report also says Yoon’s approval rating in South Korea plunged to a record low of 17 percent last week, and he is concerned with Trump’s plan for a 20 percent tariff on all imports, thus he wants to use golf to woo the President-elect.
As for where the duo will play? It’s safe to say they won’t have a hard time finding a course.
