President Donald Trump claims ‘Purge
or Revolution’ in South Korea ahead
of meeting with new leader
President Donald Trump greeted Lee
Jae Myung, the new president of South
Korea, by asserting that a “Purge or
Revolution” was taking place there
and threatening to not do business
with Seoul as he prepared to host the
new leader at the White House later
Monday.
It was not immediately clear what
Trump was referring to, but South
Korea had been in a state of
political turmoil for the last
several months after its former
leader, the conservative Yoon Suk
Yeol, briefly imposed martial law
last December which eventually led
to his stunning ouster from office.
“WHAT IS GOING ON IN SOUTH KOREA?
Seems like a Purge or Revolution.
We can’t have that and do business
there,” Trump posted on social media
Monday morning. “I am seeing the new
President today at the White House.
Thank you for your attention to this
matter!!!”
The liberal Lee, an outspoken critic
of Seoul’s conservative establishment
who had narrowly lost to Yoon in that
2022 election, led the South Korean
parliament’s efforts to overturn
Yoon’s martial law decree while
impeaching him. The nation’s
Constitutional Court formally
dismissed Yoon in April.
