Trump's Remarks Trigger Security Concerns in Korea

Recently, former President Trump has made a series of remarks regarding South Korea, raising concerns about the potential 'Trump risk' that South Korea needs to prepare for. The implications for the Korean Peninsula appear significant depending on the candidates in the U.S. election, although many experts argue that the fundamental security issues faced by South Korea will not change drastically regardless of who wins. If Candidate Harris is elected, it is believed that this could positively reinforce the alliance, while Trump's tendency to view economic partnerships as competitive raises concerns. A considerable number of U.S. voters support Trump's claims, which South Korea must take into account in its strategic planning. Although differences in the policies of the two candidates exist, the urgent issues on the Korean Peninsula remain complex and unresolved, highlighting the need for a robust strategy to address them. In the end, South Korea must develop an independent foreign policy even within its relationship with the U.S.
