Cheong Wa Dae has established a task force to organize a potential golfing match between President Lee Jae Myung and U.S. President Donald Trump. The decision came late last month, following Lee's return from a trip to the U.S. and Mexico. The task force was formed shortly after Trump requested the golf outing during a Korea-U.S. summit.
While a specific date has not been set, there is speculation that the leaders could play golf during the Group of 20 summit in Miami in December. The task force has already convened for an in-person meeting, reviewing Trump's past golf outings with other world leaders and discussing the necessary arrangements. This push for a golf outing with Trump has been sparked by a separate controversy surrounding Lee's own golfing activities.
Opposition politicians, including Rep. Joo Jin-woo, have criticized Lee for engaging in "luxury golf" on the same day a commercial building roof collapsed.
