How a Second Trump Term Could Shape the South Korea-U.S. Alliance

The Diplomat  

As the 2024 U.S. presidential election draws closer, U.S. allies and adversaries alike are preparing for the potential return of former president Donald Trump to the White House. Trump’s return to the Oval Office in 2025 would likely create friction in the South Korea-U.S. relationship in at least three distinct ways. First, Trump might break with South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol on policy toward North Korea’s nuclear program. Third, the gap between South Korea and the United States over relations with China might widen under a Trump administration. Trump campaigned on a pledge to rework U.S. trade relationships and had criticized KORUS as a “deal that should’ve never been made.” Initially, the Trump administration planned to withdraw outright from the agreement, a move that might have badly strained South Korea-U.S. ties.
