President Trump Big Wins in Seoul, Big Stakes with Xi

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Trump arrived in South Korea on October 29, 2025 for the final leg of his Asian tour.

With every handshake and headline, Trump is re-establishing America as the world’s undeniable leader.

South Korea even gave him ….a crown. “The first American President to receive this.”

The host city is Gyeongju, the venue for the APEC leaders’ meeting.

Upon arrival:

Trump dismissed the idea of a meeting with Kim Jong Un this trip, citing timing issues.

Meanwhile, the summit’s spotlight includes a highly-anticipated bilateral with Xi Jinping tomorrow, making trade and diplomacy major themes

South Korean President Lee Jae Myung awarded Trump the country’s highest honor, the “Grand Order of Mugunghwa,” and presented a replica gold Silla-era crown.

“Mr. President, you are the first American President to receive this”

In the lead up, Trump sealed rare earth supply deals with four Asian nations in a bid to counter Beijing’s market dominance.

Analysts say the effort could stabilize global prices and boost U.S. refining, but development will take years.

Trump arrives in South Korea for key talks ahead of APEC summit, Xi meeting — no Kim Jong Un reunion.

Trump’s visit comes as one analyst warns that South Korea’s left-leaning government could undermine one of America’s key Asian alliances

The twin talks (Seoul & Beijing) signal a pivot in U.S. Asia policy, where diplomacy, trade, and security intersect under Trump’s approach.

How the U.S.–Korea alliance emerges from these negotiations will shape regional strategy: whether Seoul remains firmly aligned or begins tilting in complex ways.

The outcome of the Trump–Xi meeting could influence the global economic order, especially as trade blocs and tariffs regain central importance.

The absence of a Trump–Kim meeting this trip, while expected, still leaves North Korea as a wildcard—its missile tests underscore that stability remains fragile.

Trump given gold crown in South Korea as host hails his ‘golden age’

By Steven Nelson, NY Post, Oct. 29, 2025:

GYEONGJU, South Korea — President Trump was given a massive gold crown Wednesday by South Korean President Lee Jae Myung, who proclaimed a new “golden age” of the nations’ alliance.

Trump, known for his love of the precious metal, which he has used extensively to redecorate the Oval Office, also received the Grand Order of Mugungwha, South Korea’s highest honor, featuring a large medallion on a golden necklace.

“It’s as beautiful as it can possibly be… I’d like to wear it right now,” Trump told his host, who said the award recognized Trump’s efforts to improve relations with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.

A Korean translator told Trump that the enormous pronged crown, meanwhile, was a replica of “the largest and most extravagant of the six existing crowns from the Silla period.”

The Silla kingdom, based in Gyeongju for about 1,000 years between 57 BC and 935 AD, at one point ruled most of Korea.

“It symbolizes the spirit of Silla, which brought peace to the Korean peninsula for the first time and there will be a new golden age of the Korean-US alliance,” Lee said.

Trump did not mention a desire to wear the crown — which he received less than two weeks after the “No Kings” protests by Democrats against his policies, which organizers said featured 7 million participants in major US cities on Oct. 18.

The president responded to those protests by posting a meme of himself wearing a crown and dumping feces on the protesters from a fighter jet named “King Trump.”

At a subsequent bilateral meeting, Lee again expressed his gratitude for Trump’s outreach to Kim, whom the US president expressed a willingness to meet this week.

“Chairman Kim has not really accepted your good intention and your gesture. So this time it did not happen, but I believe that we have been planting good seeds for a better future,” Lee said.

Lee noted to Trump that “on the Korean peninsula, a war is going on, technically speaking” and said his nation would increase military spending.
