US President Donald Trump’s directive to scale back the annual Ulchi Freedom Shield military exercises with South Korea marks a significant tactical shift in Washington's foreign policy approach. Dr. Gabriela Bernal, Korean Affairs Analyst and Non-resident Fellow at the European Centre for North Korean Studies, joins BFM’s Morning Brief to analyse this development.
She addresses critical questions surrounding regional security and upcoming diplomatic moves, including:
• Does making concessions before negotiations give Pyongyang greater leverage?
• How is Washington's broader security commitment to South Korea shifting?
• What could Kim Jong Un and Donald Trump each seek if a potential summit occurs later this year?
• Why could China be an indispensable party to any future permanent peace agreement?
