Trump met South Korean counterpart Lee Jae Myung yesterday, part of a visit in which he is expected to hold tense trade talks with China's Xi Jinping.
And capping a lavish welcome ceremony in the historic capital, Gyeongju, Trump was presented with a replica of a crown worn by the kings of Silla, the dynasty that ruled from 57 BC to 935 AD.
The gift was a replica of “the largest and most extravagant of the existing gold crowns” from the Silla period, Trump was told.
