South Korea Watches Trump-Lee Talks

South Koreans are closely monitoring the White House meeting between US President Donald Trump and South Korea’s new leader Lee Jae Myung.

During the talks, Trump expressed hope for another meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, potentially later this year. The summit came amid heightened tensions, with Trump earlier criticizing what he described as a “Purge or Revolution” in South Korea following raids involving churches.

Analysts note that Trump remains cautious toward President Lee, suggesting that careful diplomacy will be required to build trust. Observers say the talks could improve security and economic cooperation, though potential interference from China remains a concern. Citizens are watching to see whether Trump’s statements about meeting Kim Jong Un reflect genuine intentions or are primarily symbolic for the summit.
