Reports suggest that the South Korean resident in the United States appears to have organized a meeting. "I came to know that Donald Trump is quite interested in Taekwondo," Lee was quoted as saying by the Daily Mail.

Responding to the gesture, Trump stated, "It is my honour to receive Honorary Dan Certificate and I think Taekwondo is a magnificent martial art for self-defence. I wish to see Kukkiwon Taekwondo Team's demonstration," as posted by the official Facebook account of Kukkiwon.

The former president of the United States reportedly vowed that he would be looking forward to wearing the taekwondo clothing in Congress, should he make a return to the White House in the future.

The award puts Trump on par with Russian President Vladimir Putin, who received a black belt and was made a grandmaster of taekwondo during his visit to South Korea in 2013. Even without practising taekwondo, Putin was able to obtain the coveted rank.

Meanwhile, Trump on November 9, confirmed that he has not spoken to incumbent President Joe Biden for a long time but is open to doing so if it "could help" the country, reported Fox News.
