미 대선, 한반도에 미칠 영향: 워싱턴 헤리 카지아니스 연결
How would the election outcome impact the Korean peninsula?
A Trump 2 or Biden 1 - how will it impact South Korea, North Korea and China?
Let's turn to some expert's perspective - we have Harry Kazianis, Director for the Center for the National Interest joining us live from Washington.
Hi there, Harry, thanks for joining us so early in the morning.
What can we expect for South Korea under a Trump two or a new Biden administration in terms of the U.S.-South Korea alliance? Do you think a Biden administration would seek to quickly conclude the prolonged defense cost-sharing deal at a much lower rate of increase? Would a Trump reelection lead South Korea to pay what he demands? What about the transfer of wartime operational control by 2022?
South Korea is under pressure at the moment to choose a side in the power struggle between the U.S. and China, it appears. Do you think a Biden administration will follow the same path that President Trump did? Should Trump win re-election, would South Korea face more pressure to join its anti-China coalition, including the QUAD?
What about North Korea? How do you expect the North Korean nuclear issue to develop? Is North Korea's denuclearization more feasible in the event of a Trump re-election or a Biden election?
If Joe Biden becomes the victor of the U.S. election, North Korea isn't as much a priority than it has been for the Trump administration.
By the time Biden gets to North Korea, which some analysts see to be up to 6 months into his term, but North Korea may not wait that long and may take some sort of action...
What are your thoughts?
