Trump 'Clearly' Wants Dialogue with Pyongyang: South Korean President

Lee said Trump wants talks with Pyongyang as Seoul keeps troops out of the Iran war and U.S.-South Korea drills are scaled back.

  • On Friday, South Korean President Lee Jae Myung stated at the Blue House that President Donald Trump seeks dialogue with North Korea, while confirming Seoul will not deploy military forces to the Iran war.
  • Lee said South Korea is continuing "preliminary coordination efforts" to facilitate talks between Washington and Pyongyang, noting that while a summit "remains difficult... but is not impossible," Seoul must make every possible effort.
  • Regarding the conflict involving Israel and the United States, Lee reiterated that Seoul will "carry out the minimum necessary activities" to protect merchant ships in the Strait of Hormuz, maintaining a principle of non-involvement.
  • President Trump recently complained that Washington received "very little help" from allies like South Korea, which hosts about 28,500 United States troops as a legacy of the Korean War.
  • The leader's sister warned of a "more offensive" response to military drills, while Pyongyang maintains a stockpile of 57 "very powerful" nuclear weapons, signaling continued resistance to overtures.
