A commemorative photo of U.S. President Donald Trump and the South Korean trade negotiation delegation has been released.
On the 1st, the White House said, "President Trump has secured another historic trade agreement with Korea," and posted a group photo of President Trump and the delegation taken at the White House on the 31st on X (formerly Twitter).
In the photo, President Trump, wearing a blue tie, is in the center, giving a thumbs-up and smiling brightly.
Leading the negotiations was Vice Minister of Economy and Finance Koo Yun-cheol, along with Minister of Trade, Industry and Energy Kim Jung-kwan and Chief of the Trade Negotiation Bureau Yeo Han-koo, all of whom are also seen raising their thumbs.
Around them, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent, Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick, and U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) Jamieson Greer are also posing with bright expressions.
The location where the delegation met with President Trump is the Cabinet Room in the West Wing of the White House. This space is where the U.S. President chairs cabinet meetings, and it was renovated by President Trump after taking office.
On the wall behind the delegation hangs a painting of former President Abraham Lincoln, who led the Union to victory in the Civil War, meeting with soldiers, including General Ulysses S. Grant.
Earlier, President Trump explained that he moved this painting that hung in the Lincoln Room of the White House to the Cabinet Room in July during a cabinet meeting because "this is a very important place where wars end."
