South Korea may reconsider its plans to supply weapons to Ukraine following Donald Trump’s victory in the U.S. presidential election.
According to Bloomberg, South Korean authorities are concerned that a potential shift in U.S. foreign policy under Trump could lead them to abandon their intention to support Kyiv with military equipment.
Sources familiar with the situation suggest that South Korea wants to understand how U.S. foreign policy will change under Trump’s leadership and how it might affect international support for Ukraine.
Experts in South Korea believe that, if Trump wins, he may seek to reduce U.S. involvement in the conflict, which would present a challenge for Seoul in maintaining its current course.
Earlier, South Korea had expressed its readiness to supply weapons to Ukraine. However, internal debates and changes in the international landscape could influence the final decision.
