Trump gets replica gold crown from S. Korea | ABS-CBN News

South Korea welcomed U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday (October 29) with a replica gold crown and awarded him with the "Grand Order of Mugunghwa," the country's highest decoration. 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. Lee's office said that in recognition of Trump's role as a "peacemaker" on the Korean peninsula, he was awarded the "Grand Order of Mugunghwa," which is named after South Korea's national flower, a pink hibiscus also known as the Rose of Sharon in English. "I'd like to wear it right now," Trump said when presented with the glittering award. A South Korean official said he was the first U.S. president to receive the honor. Trump was also gifted a replica of the golden Cheonmachong crown. The delicate original, which was found in a tomb in Gyeongju, features towering gold prongs and dangling leaf shapes. Lee is hoping to win concessions from Trump in drawn out negotiations aimed at lowering U.S. tariffs on South Korea, and has wooed the U.S. president by praising his outreach to North Korea. Lee and Trump met at a museum in the city of Gyeongju, a quiet tourist town filled with historic tombs and palaces from its time as the capital of the ancient Silla kingdom, which ruled about a third of the Korean peninsula until the 9th century.
