Will Trump Treat South Korea’s Lee as a Friend, or the Foe He Is?

Today’s Secure Freedom Minute with Frank Gaffney: President Trump had a potentially fraught meeting with his new South Korean counterpart, Lee Jae Myung. While the focus will be on trade relations, there will be an ominous elephant in the room: Lee is deeply hostile to the United States and dangerously aligned with our enemies, Communist China and North Korea.

As my colleague, retired Marine Colonel Grant Newsham, observed recently in Asia Times, Lee has “referred to American troops in South Korea as ‘occupiers’ and said China should do what it wants to Taiwan.” It is hard to overstate the strategic peril associated with the “fundamental transformation” of a key American ally now in prospect.



The question is: Will Mr. Trump come to grips with Lee’s longstanding hostility or try to paper it over in the interest of making “progress” on trade? Much will be riding on the answer.
