During the South Korea-U.S. summit held at the Oval Office of the White House that day, President Lee remarked, "It is your dream to make America great again, and it seems that the United States is indeed becoming great once more," making these comments.

President Lee continued, "It appears that your role as a peacemaker is particularly notable, extending beyond simply safeguarding peace in the United States. This is the first time a president has shown such interest in global peace issues and achieved tangible results."

President Lee then said, "If possible, please help bring peace to the Korean Peninsula, which remains the only divided nation in the world."

I truly hope you will serve as a maker of historic global peace."
