President Trump will host the South Korean President Lee Jae-myung at the White House this afternoon for a bilateral meeting on trade amid the political instability in the country.
This comes as former President Yoon Suk awaits trial after declaring martial law and being impeached last December.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, Lee Jae-myung is simultaneously courting China as he meets with Trump after carrying out police raids on political opponents who dare raise questions about election fraud under the current pro-Chinese regime.
Such actions raise serious questions about Seoul’s reliability as a U.S. ally. The message delivered to Wang Yi, China’s top foreign policy official, emphasized “expanding common interests” with Beijing. At the very moment when Washington is working to strengthen trilateral cooperation with Seoul and Tokyo, South Korea’s leader is signaling deference to Beijing.
Ahead of the meeting, President Trump commented on the ongoing turmoil in South Korea, describing it as a “purge or revolution.”
“We can’t have that and do business there,” he said.
This could possibly be a contentious meeting between the two leaders.
The meeting was scheduled for 12:15 pm ET, but it is currently delayed.
