The Trip
South Korea’s President Moon Jae-in me with Trump after he arrived in South Korea. He said “I know that you have put this issue at the top of your security agenda.”
Moon said “so I hope that your visit to Korea and to the Asia Pacific region will serve as an opportunity to relieve some of the anxiety that the Korean people have due to North Korea’s provocations and also serve as a turning point in resolving the North Korean nuclear issue.”
Trump had said the US had three aircraft carrier groups and a nuclear submarine close by. He talked about an “exciting day tomorrow for many reasons that people will find out.”
He didn’t say much about that and it was left to speculation. Trump seemed to have toned down his approach on North Korea.
Despite this tensions are high, especially with the presence of such a Military presence. Yet the use of a high presence can be expected when the President travels.
