Trump and Lee Jae-myung Held 30-Minute Meeting Tuesday, South Korean Adviser Says
A direct Trump encounter with South Korea's opposition leader is unusual enough to be read as political signalling, especially with no substantive readout from either side. It matters most for Seoul's policy and business circles, where any hint of a Trump-Lee channel invites repositioning ahead of a possible change in government. The absence of any account is the real story: whether either side fills that vacuum, or whether this remains a bare courtesy meeting, is the open question.
