President Donald Trump confronted South Korean President Lee Jae Myung about reported raids on churches during a White House meeting, saying he 'heard from Intel' there had been raids that closed some churches and that they would discuss it later. Lee, with an interpreter, said his administration was conducting a fact-finding investigation into the rumors. The raids were linked to an ongoing conflict with former President Yoon Suk Yeol, who was ousted after declaring martial law last December. In July, authorities raided a church run by a preacher who led pro-Yoon protests.
President Donald Trump on Monday asked South Korea's president straight-up if his government was raiding churches as it's been reported. Trump met with South Korean President Lee Jae Myung in the White House on Monday afternoon. When the two presidents took questions from the media in the Oval Office, Trump was specifically asked for his reaction to reports that churches have been raided.
I heard from Intel that there was a raid on Churches. We're going to talk about that later I haven't spoken about it yet but will we meet and, you know, that would be too bad if that's the case. But I did hear that from intel that there was a raid on churches, closing some churches, so we'll talk about that later.
