Trump invited Lee to a summit in the U.S. and they plan to meet soon, according to a White House official. Analysts say the first opportunity for the two to meet could be at a G7 summit in Canada in mid-June.
Lee's office said the two leaders also discussed the assassination attempts they both experienced last year as well as their enthusiasm for golf.
Lee underwent surgery after he was stabbed in the neck by a man in January last year, while Trump was wounded in the ear by a bullet fired by a would-be assassin in July.
South Korea, a major U.S. ally and one of the first countries after Japan to engage with Washington on trade talks, agreed in late April to craft a "July package" scrapping levies before the 90-day pause on Trump's reciprocal tariffs is lifted, but progress was disrupted by the change of governments in Seoul.

Ah, seems this article covers them coming to the G7 as well. I’ve been wondering, at what point do Australia and South Korea just join the group? They’ve been invited for multiple of these summits in a row.
