2025 TriForum Special Webinar with TV Chosun\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

JAN 23 (Thur) \/ 9:00 AM (KST)<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2025 presents the Republic of Korea (ROK) and the United States with several challenges, some new and some old. <\/span>From his first day in office, President Trump is expected to call on the ROK to participate in US-led supply chain restructuring, renegotiations over defense burden-sharing and efforts to counter rising competition from China.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the ROK continues to face political turmoil following the December 3 martial law incident, repeated impeachment proceedings, and the unprecedented arrest and detention of a sitting president. <\/span>This ongoing political crisis has fueled concerns about the so-called \u2018Korea Passing,\u2019 a situation where the country risks alienation from the U.S. and the international community.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In turn, we will discuss how the US-ROK alliance and bilateral relations might endure these challenges under Trump 2.0. We will also examine critical issues, ranging from national security to trade, and North Korea to China.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
