U.S. President Donald Trump has arrived in South Korea for a scheduled summit where he’ll meet with South Korean President Lee Jae Myung and other key regional leaders.

He was greeted with a red carpet welcome and a military band playing the song “YMCA” by the Village People—a mainstay for Trump on his campaign trail before his second term.
