South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol has scheduled a golf game with US President Donald Trump after recalling a “pinky promise,” according to reports from South Korean and other outlets. The announcements follow earlier public comments in which the two leaders referenced a prior informal commitment, now being followed through with plans for a golf session. The reports say the scheduling is part of ongoing diplomatic engagement and signals continued efforts to maintain a close working relationship between Washington and Seoul.
While details differ across accounts—such as the timing and how the promise was described—sources agree that the golf booking is tied directly to the leaders’ earlier exchange. The coverage frames the move as a personal gesture as well as a practical step in the context of high-level bilateral ties. None of the reports indicate that the golf plan replaces official meetings; instead, it is presented as an additional engagement between the two heads of state. Officials have not consistently provided further specifics beyond the fact that the game is being arranged.
