This morning, President Donald Trump took to Truth Social to express his concerns over political developments in South Korea ahead of his expected bilateral meeting with President Lee Jae Myung. Trump's post raised questions about what he referred to as a potential 'Purge or Revolution' in South Korea, stating that such instability could impact business relations with the country.
President Lee, in response to Trump's comments, highlighted the challenges in meeting US demands for flexibility regarding American troops stationed in South Korea. The relationship between Seoul and Washington has faced pressure due to Trump's 'America First' policies, which have influenced trade and military ties between the two nations.
