Kamala Harris Touts U.S.-ROK Alliance in Editorial to Yonhap News
Nothing new here, just the continuation of Biden’s policies:
Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris on Saturday touted the South Korea-U.S. alliance as a “linchpin” of security and prosperity in the Indo-Pacific and around the world, while underlining Seoul’s “sizable” contributions to the upkeep of the 28,500-strong U.S. Forces Korea (USFK).
Vice President Harris made the remarks in a special contribution to Yonhap News Agency, reiterating America’s “ironclad” security commitment to South Korea, vowing to preserve its global leadership and accentuating the importance of the bilateral alliance forged in blood during the 1950-53 Korean War.
Titled “Let’s Go Forward, Together: Creating a Prosperous Future for Korean Americans,” her exclusive contribution is the first of its kind to a South Korean media outlet in this year’s election cycle. It came just days ahead of the U.S. presidential election.
“In 2022, I stood at the DMZ and reaffirmed the United States’ ironclad commitment to the defense of South Korea. I know our alliance has been a linchpin of security and prosperity in the Indo-Pacific and around the world,” she wrote, recalling her trip to the Demilitarized Zone separating the two Koreas.
“Trump, by contrast, is demanding that South Korea pay $10 billion a year to host our troops despite its already sizable contributions — disparaging our alliance and disregarding America’s standing in the Indo-Pacific,” she added as she is set to face off against her Republican rival in Tuesday’s showdown.

Trump, however, was able to get Kim Jong Un to back off the provocations.

And weakness provokes attacks.
Kamala thinks the US is in an alliance with nK.
Trump, however, was able to get Kim Jong Un to back off the provocations.
You do know the reason Kim backed off the provocations is because Trump agreed to talk to him and Kim hoping he will get sanctions relief put things on hold to show that he was willing to work with the US.
Of course Trump, listening to the warmongering Bolton, did an about face in Hanoi and humiliated Kim. This obviously made Kim change his mind and restart the provocations.
So, are you saying that Trump reaching out and talking to Kim and making a deal where Trump pulls out the USFK from Korea and lift sanctions in exchange for Kim freezing his nuclear program is a good idea?
You do know that Kim won’t give up his nukes so freezing them as is, is your best hope.

The Democrats kept the USFK in Korea and gave you plentiful of photos of joint ROK-US exercises for your pleasure.
You reaped the benefits of a Democrat Presidency.
Why are you complaining when you got what you wanted?
