Trump's Foreign Policy Direction through
the Nominee for the Under Secretary of Defense |
Won Gon Park, Chair of EAI’s Center for North Korea Studies and Professor at Ewha Womans University, analyzes the foreign policy direction of the second Trump administration through the lens of Elbridge Colby’s strategic vision. Park argues that Colby’s approach prioritizes countering China while expecting greater contributions from allies in managing global conflicts. While reaffirming the importance of the U.S.-ROK alliance and recognizing the North Korean threat, Colby also emphasized the need for increased South Korean contributions, including through wartime operational control transfer and potential adjustments to U.S. Forces Korea (USFK), suggesting a necessary response from South Korea. |
