Facing Trump’s return, South Korea tees up for alliance strains

Summary

66% Informative

South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol is taking up golf for the first time in eight years to prepare for diplomacy with Donald Trump .

Yoon is a conservative who leaned hard into a values-based alliance with the U.S. under President Joe Biden .

Trump 's election victory has prompted soul-searching in South Korea , with many left-leaning commentators lamenting what they see as an over-reliance on an unreliable ally.

Yoon hopes that spending time on the golf course with Trump will offer a chance to address them one on one.

Such an approach would emulate that of Japan ’s late former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe , who formed a close bond with Trump and tried to smooth bilateral frictions, in part by playing golf.
