South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol is practising golf to prepare for future meetings with US president-elect Donald Trump. NBC News reported 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. “A lot of people close to President Trump told me that we will have good chemistry,” Yoon told a press conference, after congratulating Trump by telephone on his win.
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.” According to the presidential office, this marks the first time in eight years, since 2016, that Yoon has resumed playing golf. He reportedly began practicing after receiving advice to prepare for interactions with the next U.S. president.
