Korean Media: Trump Stays in Gyeongju... Special "Gyeongju Gold Crown" Gifted to Trump

¬ Trump Enters Today

After his visit to Japan, US President Donald Trump will arrive in South Korea on the morning of the 29th via Gimhae International Airport and stay at the "Hilton Gyeongju" located in the Pumun Tourism Area of Gyeongju. After entering the country, Trump will go to Gyeongju and attend a lunch meeting of the APEC CEO Summit held at the Gyeongju Art Hall and deliver a special speech. In the afternoon, he will hold a summit with South Korean President Lee Jae-myung and have dinner together with President Lee Jae-myung and leaders of other countries. On the 27th, there were people who saw the presidential bulletproof luxury car "The Beast" with the Washington D.C. license plate "800-002" in Gyeongju.

The gift prepared by the presidential office for Trump is a specially made model of the "Gyeongju Gold Crown," which imitates an actual gold crown excavated in Gyeongju. At the same time, in preparation for this APEC Summit, the National Gyeongju Museum held a special exhibition of six gold crowns titled "Silla Golden Crowns, Power and Prestige" on the 28th, and the state gift was also selected as a golden crown.

According to a source from the presidential office, President Lee Jae-myung plans to present the custom-made gift for Trump during a friendly exchange after the South Korea-US summit. The presidential office stated that they are preparing "exclusive gifts" for the heads of state attending the APEC Summit. Considering Trump's preference for decorating the White House with gold, the gift was decided to be a golden crown. During the South Korea-US summit in August, President Lee Jae-myung presented a golden turtle ship model. Additionally, South Korea is planning to award Trump the Order of the Paulownia Flowers.

When Trump visited Japan, Japan gave him "golden golf balls" made using the gold leaf technology of Kanazawa City in Ishikawa Prefecture. Trump is a passionate golf enthusiast. Moreover, Japan also gave golf equipment used by former Japanese Prime Minister Abe Shinzo, who had a good relationship with Trump.
