Description

South Korean President Lee Jae-myung made history by choosing Japan – not the U.S. – for his first overseas visit as president. He later met U.S. leaders in Washington as debates heat up over the future of U.S. Forces Korea - from their "strategic flexibility" to President Trump's request to own the land where U.S. forces are stationed. What did President Lee achieve in Tokyo and Washington? How different is his approach from his predecessors? And could the mission of U.S. Forces Korea be redefined in the process?
