President Donald Trump has visited South Korea as part of his extended trip to Asia. Both the US and Korea are said to be working out a trade deal. The two countries have been key allies, but political tensions began after more than 400 visiting engineers and other workers were illegally detained in an immigration raid last month. This move was a part of the ongoing deportation and detention policies of the Trump administration that have caused immense unrest all over America. During his visit, Donald Trump was reportedly left in a “state of future reflection” after being gifted an extravagant gold crown during his visit to South Korea, according to body language expert Judi James. South Korean President Lee Jae Myung appeared to appeal to president’s well-known love of gold, presenting him with a replica of the Silla royal crown. As per The Mirror US, it is described as the “largest and most lavish” of the six existing crowns from Korea’s ancient kingdom. President also received the ‘Grand Order of Mugunghwa’, South Korea’s highest decoration. He is reportedly the first to get the award, which was given “in recognition of his contribution to peace on the Korean Peninsula.” Dear Progressive Radio and podcasters.

He also thanked President Lee while placing an arm around him in a gesture of genuine gratitude. The former business magnate was on cloud nine after the honor. “His body language shows he was completely mesmerized,” Judi James told the outlet. “He couldn’t take his eyes off it; his body shifted slightly from side to side, a gesture that reveals suppressed pleasure and excitement. It’s the look of someone already planning when and how they’ll wear it,” the popular body language expert added. Meanwhile, he also expressed interest in meeting North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, but told reporters on October 29 that his team was unable to arrange a meeting during the visit. Acknowledging the region’s long history of division, he added, “We’ll see what we can do to get that all straightened out.” BREAKING: Donald Trump arrives in South Korea to a red-carpet welcome — complete with a marching band playing “YMCA” Trump awarded Grand Order of Mugunghwa, S.

He revamped the entire Oval Office in the White House with gold accents, which received a bunch of negative opinions from online users. But, in his world, he’s always perfect, isn’t he? Furthermore, POTUS also attended the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Summit in Gyeongju, where he made another blunder in his speech when he forgot the name of one of the countries involved in a war he frequently boasts about ending and grabbed the spotlight, igniting fresh speculation about his health once again. Amidst an ongoing government shutdown, tariff complaints, and immigration backlash leading to a “No King’s “protest in the last couple of months, the Trump administration has faced immense scrutiny in its decisions. Whether Trump is a good leader or a bad leader will always be a subjective question to ponder upon, but as a part of his Asia tour, he has been working to reinforce US partnerships in the region. Donald Trump is next in Japan, where he signed an agreement on rare earth minerals and declared a “golden age” of US–Japan relations, reaffirming earlier trade commitments, including a 15% tariff deal reached earlier this year.

Before arriving in Japan, Trump attended the ASEAN summit in Malaysia, where he presided over a peace agreement between Thailand and Cambodia following renewed border clashes in July 2025.
