◇ Anchor> But especially in the case of Gabbard, a former congressman nominated for secretary of state and national security adviser, who is a typical hardliner on North Korea, isn't it dialogue? Looking at the aides like this, it seems that the two are exchanging hard-line and dialogue with North Korea, what do you think?

◆Kim Yeol-soo> It's a mixture of the two. So, if necessary, I think it's made up of hard-liners from China, but as you said, there are hard-liners against North Korea on the issue of North Korea, and on the other hand, dialogue with North Korea is necessary. The person who was selected as the defense minister was a Fox News anchor in the past. What this person also constantly talked about was someone who supported Trump's negotiations with North Korea or something like this. So in this respect, I think that there needs to be a little more policy toward North Korea to be revealed in detail.

◇Anchor> You mentioned Fox News anchor, especially when you are a major and have so little experience in the military, can you go to the defense secretary?

◆ Kim Yeol-soo> It's not impossible. It's because the president himself picks it. As you said, this is a 44-year-old in terms and conditions and a former National Guard member, but this is a man who fought in Iraq and Afghanistan. So I have experience in participating in the war, but I don't have experience in policy. That's why I've never worked in the U.S. Department of Defense or the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Nevertheless, I chose this person, and I think he is truly the most sincere person about the so-called America First policy, and the other is the one who insisted on reducing the number of U.S. troops stationed abroad. So if this person is appointed as the Minister of National Defense and works, this will affect Korea's security, and I think these are things we should pay attention to because he is a person who is likely to demand an increase in the reduction of U.S. troops in Korea or the mutual defense cost sharing between South Korea and the U.S. And there's also the U.S. domestic military issue. Domestic military issues were also allowed in the military during the Biden administration on so-called political correctness, in fact, LGBTQ people and equality issues. I'm going to sweep this up. But this is the person who can do this. That's why I think we appointed this 44-year-old person in these terms and conditions.
