Trump warns we ‘can’t do business’ in South Korea without changes
President Donald Trump voiced his concern about a “revolution” in South Korea ahead of his meeting with the country’s president, Lee Jae Myung.
“WHAT IS GOING ON IN SOUTH KOREA? Seems like a Purge or Revolution,” Trump wrote Monday on Truth Social before the meeting.
“We can’t have that and do business there. I am seeing the new President today at the White House. Thank you for your attention to this matter!!!” Trump continued.
The meeting comes after North Korean Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un oversaw the testing of two new air defense missiles on Saturday. The Korean Central News Agency said the two missiles were launched at targets in order to test their “combat capability.”
The test came as South Korea fired warning shots after North Korean troops briefly crossed the heavily fortified border between the countries last week.
As South Korea nears its 80th anniversary of liberation, the country is in the midst of an economic downturn. However, Lee Joon-ho, chargé d’affaires at the Embassy of the Republic of Korea, credited “President Lee’s quick action” as he implemented “a supplementary budget that supported low-income families, small businesses, and domestic consumption.”
