1. Summary
Amidst recent provocation by Kim Jong Un by setting up mine ambush in southern parts of DMZ, the commander of U.S. forces made a remark denying korean sovereignty over southern parts of DMZ. This faced a backlash from Seoul.
2. How is this related to the sub
(1) Collective defense under threat: The U.S. takes position to undermine Korea’s security again.
3. My opinion
It seems that Trump administration wants to deny access to DMZ for the south which could lead to more aggressive behavior of Kim Jong un. Whether this related to the growing pro-NK sentiments in the White House is unknown.
