Members of the U.S. and South Korean military gave President Trump a token of appreciation in the form of a personalized golf jacket, during a Sunday meeting on the demilitarized zone between North and South Korea.
As the president wrapped up remarks to military members with South Korean President Moon Jae-in by his side, he noticed that he was being approached with a gift.
"What do you have over there? That looks good!" he quipped.
A service member then presented Trump with a jacket, saying, "We have a small token of appreciation in recognition of your visit here in the Republic of Korea. We're grateful for your leadership —you and President Moon — and all that you do for the R.O.K.-U.S. alliance ... everyone knows you're a golfer."
He noted the several personalized insignia on the jackets and pointed out the most important one, "Our motto here in Korea is 'We go together.' We hope that when you wear this on the golf course that you'll think about the strength and the enduring nature of this R.O.K.-U.S. alliance. Mr. President, thank you very much."
The president then shook hands of several service men and women from both nations.
