Jeong Yong-jin met Trump, "First among domestic political and business figures"… Interview content not disclosed

 

[News Space=Reporter seungwon lee] Shinsegae Group Chairman Yong-jin Chung, known to be a close friend of President-elect Trump's eldest son, Trump Jr., met with US President-elect Donald Trump for a meal and conversation.

 

Chairman Chung is the first domestic figure that US President-elect Trump has met with since his victory in the presidential election last month.

 

Chairman Chung met with domestic media correspondents at Atlanta International Airport in Georgia, USA on the 21st (local time) and said, “I met President-elect Trump. We talked for about 10 to 15 minutes. I also had a meal with President-elect Trump.”

 

Regarding the content of the conversation, he replied, “I don’t think it would be appropriate to disclose the content of the conversation,” and “I asked him many questions, but I think it would be better not to discuss specifics.”

 

On the 17th (local time), Chairman Chung spent time with President-elect Trump's eldest son, Trump Jr., and had a meal at the President-elect Trump's private residence, Mar-a-Lago Resort in Palm Beach, Florida, USA. It is known that this visit was made possible at the invitation of Trump Jr. in October. Chairman Chung and Trump Jr. are so close that they call each other "bro," and it is known that this is the third time they have met this year. 

Chairman Chung was originally scheduled to stay for 3 nights and 4 days, but his stay was extended to 5 nights and 6 days. Chairman Chung did not disclose the specific content of his conversation with President-elect Trump. It is reported that Chairman Chung was introduced to several American figures through Trump Jr. during his stay at the Mar-a-Lago resort.

 

It is known that in this meeting, they discussed personal matters such as family and religion, as well as business and investment. Trump Jr. is the successor to President-elect Trump's political slogan, "Make America Great Again (MAGA)." In particular, it is known that he was deeply involved in the key personnel selection of this administration.

 

There are also predictions that Chairman Chung will attend President-elect Trump's inauguration ceremony on January 20th next year.

 

An official from a major domestic business group said, "At a time when countries around the world are trying to find Trump's network and form relationships, it is significant that a domestic businessperson met Trump in person," adding, "In a situation where uncertainty has increased due to the policies of the second Trump administration, I hope that someone capable of more active and in-depth networking will emerge and play a key role."
