Seoul’s nightmare: “Trump treats allies worse than enemies” | Marcin Zaborowski
Is the Trump administration weakening ties with one of America’s most important allies in Asia?
“Trump is often tougher on allies than on adversaries,” argues Marcin Zaborowski in this episode. In recent months, concerns have been growing in South Korea about the future of U.S. security guarantees, military cooperation, and Seoul’s strategic role in Washington’s Indo-Pacific policy.
At the same time, South Korea faces growing threats from North Korea, deepening cooperation between Pyongyang and Russia, and a changing U.S. foreign policy landscape.
Join Ashim Kumar and his guest as they discuss U.S.–South Korea relations, Donald Trump’s approach to America’s allies, the North Korean threat, and the future of security in East Asia.
