Pourquoi Donald Trump est-il belliqueux avec la Corée du Sud?

Un article pertinent sur le site de The Atlantic. Après avoir envoyé des signaux positifs à son allié, le Président Trump a menacé la Corée du Sud de se retirer d'un traité de libre-échange. Un geste critiqué par ses plus proches conseillers. Pourquoi se mettre à dos un partenaire aussi important? Pour l'instant la Corée du Sud ne semble pas prendre Trump au sérieux, mais les choses pourraient évoluer, pour le pire.

 "At the very least, the self-inflicted damage by Trump reflects a missed opportunity, because he could not have asked for a better partner than Moon to help handle the North Korea crisis. South Korea’s previous presidents, Lee Myung Bak and Park Geun Hye, talked a big game about pressuring North Korea, but they always wilted when the Kim regime stepped up its brinksmanship. In contrast, Moon has been in lock step with Trump’s push for maximal pressure and sanctions, and has demonstrated that he would deploy merciless force should Kim initiate a war. By gratuitously insulting and engaging in a trade war with the ally most willing to work with him, Trump risks a separation between the United States and South Korea."
