Recently a column appeared on NKNews.org that directly made light of how US President Donald Trump has influenced what’s going on here on the Korean Peninsula, & it didn’t paint the new president in a very good light. Under the title “How Donald Trump is seriously undermining the South Korea-U.S. alliance”, the article begins with a description of how things generally operate here regarding North Korea, noting that “As long as North Korea is able to make life a living hell for whoever attempts to engage in regime change or regime collapse… it will always have that assurance that they will not be pushed too hard," & for that reason, "the United States & South Korea (& Japan to a certain extent) have coordinated closely over the years to deter North Korea as much as possible.” However, the article is quick to note that things have now changed, & that after Donald Trump’s electoral victory, it has been "nothing but one bumbling fiasco after another.”NKNews.org's John Lee, a political blogger focusing on economic & political issues as they pertain to Korea & the United States, spoke to Korea FM reporter Chance Dorland about the article, thoughts on what's currently unfolding on the Korean Peninsula, & how in his mind, US President Donald Trump has degraded the relationship between the ROK & the United States.
