'Scrap the Lease!' Trump Pushes US Ownership of South Korea Lands, Ignites Fury Over 28,500 Troops

US President Donald Trump has sparked controversy by suggesting that the United States should own the land where over 28,500 American troops are stationed in South Korea, instead of continuing under the current lease arrangement. Speaking with South Korean President Lee Jae-myung at the White House, Trump emphasized the massive investment made by the US in building military bases and hinted at renegotiating or taking full control. The proposal raises questions about the future of US-South Korea relations and strategic military deployments in the region. #Trump #SouthKorea #USForcesKorea #MilitaryBases #InternationalRelations #Geopolitics #USPolitics #AsiaSecurity #WhiteHouse #DefenseStrategy ~PR.274~HT.408~

Trump’s Kim Jong Un Praise SHOCKS South Korean President | Trump Hints At Big Meet In North Korea

Former President Donald Trump expressed interest in meeting North Korean leader Kim Jong Un this year, during talks with South Korea’s President Lee Jae Myung at the White House. Trump praised his past relationship with Kim, recalling their historic 2019 meeting at Panmunjom in the Demilitarized Zone. While Trump signaled readiness for renewed diplomacy, North Korea has so far ignored his outreach, continuing to criticize U.S.-South Korea joint military drills. Analysts say Trump’s remarks could mark an attempt to revive stalled talks with Pyongyang. #Trump #KimJongUn #NorthKorea #SouthKorea #TrumpKimSummit #USPolitics #Diplomacy #PeaceTalks #Pyongyang #USChinaRelations #GlobalPolitics #KoreanPeninsula #WorldNews #BreakingNews #InternationalRelations #Geopolitics #WhiteHouse #LeeJaeMyung #MilitaryDrills #NuclearTalks #Panmunjom #DemilitarizedZone #KimYoJong #GlobalSecurity #AsiaPolitics #USForeignPolicy #TrumpReturns #NKorea #SouthKoreaUS #PeaceDeal Also Read US Issues Notice For 50% Tariff On India Beginning August 27 :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-issues-notice-for-50-tariff-on-india-beginning-august-27-011-7840965.html?ref=DMDesc Trump's India Tariffs 'Aggressive Leverage' To Force Russia To Stop Ukraine war: JD Vance :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trumps-india-tariffs-aggressive-leverage-to-force-russia-to-stop-ukraine-war-jd-vance-7839875.html?ref=DMDesc US President Trump Appoints Close Aide Sergio Gor As India Ambassador :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-president-trump-appoints-close-aide-sergio-gor-as-india-ambassador-7838355.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.346~GR.122~

Trump’s 200% Tariff Threat to China RUINS Trade Deal | U.S Ultimatum on Rare Earths Shakes Markets

President Trump warned of steep 200% tariffs on China if rare-earth magnet exports were curbed, raising fresh concerns over the fragile U.S.-China trade truce. Speaking alongside South Korean President Lee Jae Myung, Trump cited airplane parts as leverage, noting China’s reliance on Boeing jets. Rare-earth magnets are crucial for U.S. industries like automotive, electronics, and clean energy, with China controlling nearly 90% of global supply. Analysts caution Trump’s remarks may be more bluff than policy, but tensions over critical minerals remain a flashpoint in trade talks. #Trump #China #TradeWar #RareEarth #Magnets #Tariffs #USChinaRelations #Boeing #GlobalTrade #Manufacturing #CleanEnergy #Electronics #Automotive #TradeTalks #WhiteHouse #SouthKorea #USPolitics #TradeTruce #CriticalMinerals #EconomicPolicy #Geopolitics #SupplyChain #GlobalEconomy #ChinaExports #TrumpStatement #TradeTensions #BoeingDeal #MineralDependency #EnergySecurity #BreakingNews ~HT.318~ED.346~GR.122~

‘Biden Enabled North Korea’s…’ South Korean President Makes SHOCKING Claim About North Korea’s Rise [Video]

‘Biden Enabled North Korea’s…’ South Korean President Makes SHOCKING Claim About North Korea’s Rise

In a fiery White House exchange, South Korean President Lee Jae Myung sided with U.S. President Donald Trump as both leaders accused Joe Biden of enabling North Korea’s nuclear rise. President Lee told Trump the Korean peninsula was “stable” during Trump’s first term, but claimed North Korea advanced its weapons program significantly under Biden’s watch. Trump immediately seized the moment, declaring, “They would not have done that if I were President,” to which Lee replied, “I completely agree with you.” The dramatic on-camera moment is fueling debate in Washington and Seoul, with critics warning that such public criticism of Biden could inflame U.S. domestic politics and reshape Korean diplomacy. Supporters of Trump, however, hailed the remarks as proof that his strongman approach had kept Pyongyang in check. The sharp rebuke leaves Biden facing fresh questions over his North Korea policy. #Trump #DonaldTrump #PresidentLee #SouthKorea #NorthKorea #Biden #NuclearWeapons #WhiteHouse #TrumpVsBiden #USPolitics #KoreanPeninsula #BreakingNews #TrumpSpeech #NorthKoreaThreat #GlobalSecurity #Diplomacy #TrumpLeeMeeting #Trump2025 #BidenFailure #TrumpHeadlines ~ED.420~HT.408~
