President Donald Trump met with South Korean President Lee Jae Myung on Monday and raised concerns about reports of ongoing violence in the country during their meeting in the Oval Office.
Lee began his remarks by flattering Trump, beginning by praising his redecoration of the Oval Office, describing it as 'bright and beautiful' and also hailing recent record highs of the stock market.
The two leaders spoke at length about the diplomatic relations between both countries, but after reporters asked Trump about his earlier claims that there was violence against churches in South Korea, the mood turned awkward.
'What is going on in South Korea?' Trump asked on social media on Monday morning immediately before their meeting.
'Seems like a purge or revolution. We can’t have that and do business there,' he continued ominously.
