Kukkiwon said Lee was invited to the presidential inauguration ceremony in Washington, DC on the 20th by Trump's aide two weeks ago.
During his visit to the U.S., Director Lee plans to present Taekwondo honorary certificates to three U.S. upper and lower lawmakers and sign a business agreement with the heads of the U.S. branch of Kukkiwon.
Director Lee Dong-seop visited the U.S. in the past 21 years and awarded the honorary 9th dan to former President Trump at the time, and former President Trump made headlines when he said he would speak to the U.S. Congress in a uniform if he won re-election.
