Former US President Donald Trump, who was elected in the presidential election, has reportedly promised to "speak to Congress wearing a taekwondo uniform if he is re-elected."
Trump was awarded an honorary 9th-degree certificate in taekwondo in 2021. Lee Dong-seop, director of the Kukkiwon (World Taekwondo Headquarters), established by the South Korean government, said on the 7th,
He congratulated Trump, who holds an honorary ninth-degree degree in taekwondo, on his election victory and expressed his hope that he would "play a major role in promoting peace in Korea."
"I congratulate Trump on his election," he said in a statement. "As an honorary 9th dan holder in taekwondo, the national sport of Korea, I ask that you actively support the development and popularization of taekwondo in the United States."
On November 19, 2021 (local time), Director Lee visited Trump's resort in Palm Beach, Florida, where he awarded him an honorary 9th dan certificate in Taekwondo and presented him with a uniform.
"I had a long discussion with Trump about the Korea-U.S. alliance and inter-Korean peace," Lee said, adding, "(Trump) said he would 'contribute to inter-Korean peace.'"
"I remember that Trump put on a taekwondo uniform, received his honorary ninth-dan certificate, gave a thumbs up and said, 'Of all martial arts and sports, taekwondo is the best.'"
He also said, "Trump promised that if he wins reelection, he will wear a karate uniform and address Congress."
"Poo's youngest son is a taekwondo black belt, and the former head of the Virginia State Taekwondo Association acted as an intermediary," he explained.
