The Blue House is reportedly forming a task force to prepare for a golf meeting between President Lee Jae-myung of South Korea and President Donald Trump of the United States.
According to political sources on October 15, the task force was established at the end of last month. It is led by Kwon Hyuk-ki, the Chief of Protocol, and includes members from the Foreign Ministry, the National Security Office, the Presidential Security Service, the Protocol Office, and the Cultural and Sports Office.
This initiative follows Trump's directive to Suzy Wiles, Chief of Staff at the White House, during the South Korea-U.S. summit on September 23 to arrange a golf schedule with President Lee. Trump had previously promised a golf meeting with the Lee couple during a dinner at the G7 summit in June.
The task force has already held an initial meeting to review past instances of golf meetings between leaders and discuss event logistics. Once the schedule is confirmed, they plan to seek advice from the Korea Golf Association regarding attire and other details.
The timing of the meeting has not yet been finalized, but there is speculation it could coincide with the G20 summit in Miami, scheduled for December.
