South Korean President Says Trump Plans to Focus on North Korea After Iran DealPreviousNext

Following a US-Iran agreement, South Korean President Lee Jae Myung said US President Donald Trump intends to shift focus to North Korea's nuclear program. Lee told Trump that sanctions on Pyongyang are ineffective due to growing military cooperation between North Korea and Russia amid the Ukraine conflict. Trump reportedly acknowledged the need to address North Korea, with speculation rising after he shared a photo with Kim Jong Un. The Korean Peninsula remains divided since the 1950-53 armistice.
