South Korea welcomed US President Donald Trump yesterday with a replica gold crown and awarded him with the "Grand Order of Mugunghwa", the country's highest decoration, the presidential office said.

Mr Trump landed in South Korea on the final leg of a trip through Asia that also saw stops in Malaysia and Japan, with high-profile trade talks expected with South Korean President Lee Jae-myung and Chinese President Xi Jinping.

US and South Korean warplanes escorted Air Force One on approach, and on the tarmac a South Korean military band greeted Mr Trump with a rendition of YMCA and guns fired a salute.
