I just had a great call with the Acting President of South Korea.
We talked about their tremendous and unsustainable Surplus, Tariffs, Shipbuilding, large scale purchase of U.S.
LNG, their joint venture in an Alaska Pipeline, and payment for the big time Military Protection we provide to South Korea.
They began these Military payments during my first term, Billions of Dollars, but Sleepy Joe Biden, for reasons unknown, terminated the deal.
That was a shocker to all! In any event, we have the confines and probability of a great DEAL for both countries.
Their top TEAM is on a plane heading to the U.S.
, and things are looking good.
We are likewise dealing with many other countries, all of whom want to make a deal with the United States.
Like with South Korea, we are bringing up other subjects that are not covered by Trade and Tariffs, and getting them negotiated also.
“ONE STOP SHOPPING” is a beautiful and efficient process!!! China also wants to make a deal, badly, but they don’t know how to get it started.
We are waiting for their call.
It will happen!
GOD BLESS THE USA.

Trump, by talking up the negotiations of the earliest participants, is working the FOMO hard sell on China. For those not in the sales business, FOMO means “fear of missing out.”
Sounds good to me!
In order to change our country's course into oblivion, radical actions must be taken.
President Trump knows what he’s doing. Called “Art of the Deal”. More power to you, Mr. President.
Inasmuch as I would prefer them to pay as opposed to protecting them for free, I would rather not see the United States become a 'Nation of Mercenaries.' Think of what such might have done in the Ukraine with a hired thug like "Salenski" in charge.
he reason is the same one as when Bush raised taxes after taking over from Ragan - to give a middle finger to the guy before him. Simple as that.

The pressure grows because every deal makes Trump’s position stronger with the holdouts. Every win gives him more room to be tough on the laggards because he’s got good deals paying off already.
While I agree somewhat, we paid for that territory in blood also AKA the Korean War.
If we are going to be there and it is in our interest also, then they should foot some of the bill just like Japan.
Your #8 is an excellent point.
While I agree somewhat, that isn't the deal Truman and the commies in State made supposedly upon our behalf.
If we are going to be there and it is in our interest also, then they should foot some of the bill just like Japan.
If the currency is blood, as you suggested, the South Koreans certainly paid a good bit of that bill and to this day carry the brunt of that risk.
Thanks, very kind.
Obviously the Koreans lost more, but we still lost over 30,000 dead.
During the Korean War (1950-1953), approximately 36,574 U.S. military personnel died, with 33,739 battle deaths and 2,835 other deaths
