Motorcade pulled up to National museum at 2:10 pm for an honor ceremony in POTUS’s honor.

It is the highest honor of merit given by the government and the first time it has been given to an American president, according to the South Korean government.

The Beast pulled up to the museum at 2:13and POTUS entered the building alongside the South Korean president. They walked inside to a dramatic drum ceremony and soldiers in military regalia pulling out sabers.

The same crowd of aides who attended his earlier APEC speech were lined up inside. (Also in this group was/is Karoline Leavitt.)

The inside ceremony is ongoing.
