Trump's Visit to South Korea
During his Asian diplomacy tour, President Trump was welcomed in South Korea with a unique gesture.
As he stepped off Air Force One, he was serenaded with an orchestral rendition of the song "YMCA", which has been a regular feature of his tour.
- The song was previously played on a U.S. aircraft carrier in Japan, where Trump danced to it while addressing troops.
- This time, although he didn't dance, Trump seemed to appreciate the gifts presented to him by South Korea's president, Lee Jae Myung.
Trump was gifted a gold crown and awarded the Grand Order of Mugunghwa medal, the country's highest decoration.
The Grand Order of Mugunghwa medal is named after South Korea's national flower, a pink hibiscus.
