Trump is the reason South Korea's president is taking up golf.
How many other world leaders are hitting the same range?
President Yoon Suk Yeol of South Korea is said to have begun honing his golf skills in preparation for his upcoming meeting with President-elect Donald Trump.
After speaking with Trump, Yoon resumed his golf practice after a hiatus of eight years.
The bond between the current leader and the previous Japanese Prime Minister mirrors their golfing relationship and the gift of gold-plated clubs.
The president-elect's campaign did not respond promptly when asked if he wished other world leaders would begin shooting.
Trump received congratulatory calls from world leaders, including Putin, Zelenskyy, and leaders from the Middle East and Asia, following his Election Day victory.
Two days after Trump's re-election, Putin and Trump had a conversation, as reported by The Washington Post.
According to a source who spoke on condition of anonymity, Trump advised Putin not to escalate the conflict in Ukraine during a call he made from Florida. The president-elect also reminded Russia's leader of the number of US military personnel stationed in Europe.
The two men discussed the objective of achieving peace in Europe, with Trump expressing a desire for prompt negotiations on resolving the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, according to multiple sources.
Meanwhile, billionaire Elon Musk joined Trump on his call with Zelenskyy.
"President Trump received congratulations from Zelenskyy on his historic landslide victory, acknowledging the tremendous campaign that led to this outcome," X reported.
According to Axios' reporting, details about Musk's specific role were not disclosed, but sources stated that he expressed his intention to continue supporting Ukraine through his Starlink satellite network, which is crucial for Ukraine's wartime communications.
