[Column] Is Donald Trump good for the Korean Peninsula?

Donald Trump's recent actions have raised questions about his impact on the Korean Peninsula. Scaling back the annual US-South Korea military exercise, Trump cited cost and inappropriateness toward North Korea as reasons. Critics argue his move weakens the alliance with South Korea and could lead to unintended consequences. North Korea, known for its anti-Americanism and support for Iran, has seen no change in its stance following Trump's decisions.

While some see a potential opening for improved inter-Korean relations, others remain skeptical, citing North Korea's past lack of trust and relationship with reliable allies like Russia and China.
