South Korea President Moon Jae-in has requested a call with President Trump sometime Sunday evening, the White House said.

The notice, which came from a brief White House press pool report, did not indicate the purpose of the call. However, Trump tweeted around 9:22 p.m. Eastern to say he just got off the phone and brought up new international sanctions on North Korea....

Maybe he has changed his mind about those missile we wanted to give to South Korea.

I’m glad POTUS is tweeting about his calls with foreign leaders regarding sensitive national security issues. Its good that we’re kept informed.

Maybe if we had an ambassador in South Korea, that would be helpful.

Unfortunately there is actual news media, which makes tweets from POTUS America’s only reliable source of information.

Wouldn't you rather have read the entire telephone conversation's transcript from CNN? :-/

Which part of “its good that we’re kept informed” did you not understand?

All he Tweeted was "Just completed call with President Moon of South Korea. Very happy and impressed with 15-0 United Nations vote on North Korea sanctions.".

Nothing super-sensitive in that. But, I'm sure Obama's people are busy sending their recording of the call to the MSM as we speak.

I’ m surprised at the 15-0 UN vote. Maybe Trump is getting these scoundrels in line.

If I were South Korea's leader, I'd never discuss issues over a telephone; especially, as the entire transcript with the Mexican President's call was leaked to (and printed by) the Washington Post.

President Moon Jae-in: President Trump, can you help me?

US President Trump: Certainly!

SK President Moon Jae-in: Will you please apologize to North Korea for faithfully guarding South Korea for 64 years from North Korean agression and for making us a 1st world nation?

US President Trump: Go f*** yourself!

SK President Moon Jae-in: Racist!

You’re probably not far off the mark. There is a strong strain of leftists in South Korea due to some very radical professors.

Yeah, Moon probably said, “Nice Effing Job with the UN” and Trump just heard without the sarcasm tag.

We hosted this jackass here in the US. First thing he does when he gets back to Korea is meet with Obama.

If the man wants to talk about his problems, that’s who he should call-Obama. As far as I’m concerned, we should not listen to a thing he says any more after such a betrayal.

Has Trump nominated an ambassador to South Korea?

Can't blame the 'Rats or McConnell until he does.

In a quick search, I don’t see that an appointment has been made.
