South Korea Backs Trump’s North Korea Outreach, but Warns Against Being Sidelined The sudden thaw in relations between the US and North Korea has sent shockwaves across the globe, but one key player remains steadfastly cautious: South Korea.
Despite its public backing for President Trump's outreach to Pyongyang, Seoul is adamant that any diplomatic overtures must yield concrete results on the nuclear front and preserve the alliance's joint defense readiness.
Seoul's Foreign Ministry spokesperson, Wi Sung lac, emphasized the need for coordinated efforts with the US to achieve "substantive progress" on North Korea's nuclear issue.
