So,
“Earlier, Yun Seok-yul had a telephone conversation with Donald Trump”
Then after the conversation,
“…we will gradually adjust our support strategy,”
It looks like Trump is rallying support for Ukraine.
Hmmm…
“If the decision to supply weapons to Ukraine is nevertheless made, the first batch will be defensive.”
If and defensive. So, nothing concrete from S. Korea. Just the same hot gas that the rest of the West enjoys ejecting.
