A Truth Social post was made just hours before South Korean President Lee Jae Myung was scheduled to meet with US President Donald Trump.
WHAT IS GOING ON IN SOUTH KOREA?” Many interpreted Trump’s allusion to a “Purge or Revolution” in his letter to the prosecution of former president Yoon Suk Yeol for his failed effort to declare martial law in December of last year.
However, Lee turned on the charm and prevented a recurrence of the events that befell Cyril Ramaphosa of South Africa or Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine. Despite Lee’s flattering remarks, Trump’s frequent allusions to North Korea dominated the discussion, which produced little progress on resolving economic and defense-related issues. These are the three key conclusions.
Trump has a history of being wary of South Korea, even though it is an ally of the United States, so Lee’s team had good reason to be anxious about this meeting. He has already charged it with stealing from the tens of thousands of US soldiers serving to defend the peninsula from North Korea. He has also criticized Seoul’s trade surplus with the United States and its defense expenditures.
In Washington, Lee’s reputation as a left-wing lawmaker feeds Trump’s darkest anxieties. He has expressed doubt about the US alliance and stated that he wished to forge closer connections with China. Additionally, some conservative pundits in the United States have characterized him as “anti-American.
