**Donald Trump, President-elect of the United States, recently mentioned President Yoon Suk-yeol in private, according to foreign media reports.**
On the 18th (local time), CBS reported, citing multiple sources, that President-elect Trump, during a casual conversation with his aides at Mar-a-Lago Resort in Palm Beach, Florida, made the remark, “Everyone says I am the epitome of chaos, but look at Korea.”
CBS further reported that Trump jokingly said, “If they stop the impeachment, I will meet President Yoon Suk-yeol.”
The exact timing of these comments was not specified in the article. However, it is interpreted as a reference to South Korea’s political situation following President Yoon’s declaration of martial law on December 3 of the previous year and the subsequent impeachment scenario. This marks the first time Trump’s comments related to the recent situation in South Korea have been reported.
