Democratic, Foreign Affairs, Security, and Unification Advisory Council Launched "Yoon administration's Diplomatic Horizon Reduction"

In addition, the Democratic Party of Korea held a launching ceremony for the "Foreign Security and Unification Advisory Council" and discussed party-level countermeasures following the launch of the second Trump administration in the United States.

At the inauguration ceremony, Representative Lee Jae-myung said, "The horizon of our diplomacy has been reduced due to the current government's biased diplomacy and ideological diplomacy," and asked the government and economic players to open the way for them to adapt well to the complex external environment.

Former representative Lee Hae-chan, who served as the Democratic Party's leader in the second half of former President Trump's term, said the Korea-U.S. relationship would develop smoothly only when the defense cost sharing issue is settled well, but he is worried about whether the government has such a "manpower."

He also suggested utilizing those who have been good at diplomacy with the U.S. since former President Kim Dae Jung, such as former ministers Jeong Se-hyun and Lee Jong-seok, adding, "Let's think it's preparation for taking power, even though it's the opposition party now."
