Son traveled to the White House with his wife, Lee Young-rye, and their two sons, Son Young-gwang and Son Chan-song, according to the report. Pastor Rob McCoy joined the family for the meeting with Trump, and the group also visited the White House Faith Office, led by senior adviser Paula White-Cain.
