South Korean President Lee Jae Myung Proposes Trump Tower, Golf with Kim Jong Un to Promote Peace

South Korean President Lee Jae Myung met with U.S. President Donald Trump at the White House to discuss peace efforts on the Korean Peninsula, urging Trump to take the lead in reopening dialogue with North Korea. Lee praised Trump's unique role in global diplomacy and jokingly proposed the construction of a Trump Tower in North Korea, where Trump could play golf with Kim Jong Un, emphasizing the close and cordial tone of their meeting. Trump expressed openness to meeting Kim Jong Un again, highlighting their previous rapport, while Lee underscored the importance of the U.S.-South Korea alliance for security and economic growth. Despite the positive diplomatic tone, North Korea continues to expand its nuclear and missile programs, complicating peace efforts. Lee also noted America's emerging role as a 'maker of peace' worldwide and expressed hope for deeper cooperation in industries like shipbuilding and manufacturing. The meeting symbolized Seoul's reliance on Washington to manage the complex North Korean issue and the desire for renewed dialogue and progress towards peace.
