“I heard that the Donald Trump is highly interested in Taekwondo,” Lee said, according to the Korean newspaper Dong-A-Ilbo.
“It is my honor to receive the honorary dan certificate and I think Taekwondo is a magnificent martial art for self-defense,” Trump said, according to the Facebook post. “I wish to see Kukkiwon taekwondo team’s demonstration.”
The president said that he would will wear the taekwondo suit in the U.S. Capitol if he’s president again, reported the Korean outlet.
Russian President Vladimir Putin was also awarded an honorary ninth dan belt in taekwondo during a 2013 visit to Seoul, the Post reported. Both world leaders have never practiced the martial art.
In the Facebook photos, Trump and Lee posed in front of pictures of the former president meeting with world leaders, including North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and the U.K.’s Queen Elizabeth.

Stillness in the Storm Editor: Why did we post this?
The news is important to all people because it is where we come to know new things about the world, which leads to the development of more life goals that lead to life wisdom. The news also serves as a social connection tool, as we tend to relate to those who know about and believe the things we do. With the power of an open truth-seeking mind in hand, the individual can grow wise and the collective can prosper.
