“It is my honour to receive the Honorary Dan Certificate and I think Taekwondo is a magnificent martial art for self-defence,” Trump said in response.
Donald Trump added that he would wear the Taekwondo suit in the US Congress if he made it back to the White House, according to reports.
The meeting was reportedly set up by a South Korean resident of the United States.
