Darcie Draudt-Véjares @darciedraudt.bsky.social · 30/04/2025Today marks 100 days of Trump’s second term—and South Korea’s alliance anxieties may be deepening. Without a president in Seoul and facing a transactional US, economic and security pressures mount. My take for @carnegieendowment.org's 'Trump 2.0' series: carnegieendowment.org/emissary/202...carnegieendowment.orgTrump Isn’t Helping Korea’s Alliance AnxietiesThe country’s polarized political landscape and absence of a president only sharpen its economic and security concerns. 033

Darcie Draudt-Véjares @darciedraudt.bsky.social · 07/12/2024Really good point by @joelatkinson.bsky.social. PPP and many conservative citizens fear not just losing control of the executive, but also have a near-existential fear losing the ideological underpinnings of the nation. What does party loyalty mean in this case? What political game are we playing? 060
