The news of the coronavirus confirmed by President Trump has an inevitable interruption in diplomatic schedules between South Korea and the United States and North America due to the situation on the Korean peninsula in October. Ahead of US Secretary of State Pompeo’s visit to Korea next week, the possibility of a surprise contact between the United States and the so-called ‘October surprise’ was discussed, but pessimism is growing over whether it will actually go away. Reporter Na Yeon-soo reports. It is true that the news of Minister Pompeo’s visit to Korea on the 7th has raised expectations of dialogue with the United States. National Security Officer Seo Hoon and United States National Security Advisor Robert O’Brien made phone calls ahead of time to review the issues and agendas in both countries. Adviser O’Brien supported the Korean government’s efforts to resolve the incident through “talks,” especially regarding the death toll of the Korean people. This is in line with the conclusion of the previous meeting between Lee Do-hoon, head of the Korean Peninsula Peace Negotiations Headquarters of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and Stephen Biegan, the United States Under Secretary of State. The US State Department announced the results of the North Korean nuclear leader’s talks and noted that North Korea should engage in dialogue as the dialogue window is open. The Speaker of Parliament Park Byung-seok, who is visiting Germany, even raised expectations about the ‘October Surprise’. It wasn’t just hope, he said he was hearing from experts that the possibility of ‘October Surprise’ is alive. Despite the expectations of the Korean government, we found a great reef with the news of the crown19 confirmed by US President Trump. Of course, given that Secretary Pompeo has not been in contact with President Trump recently and is visiting neighboring countries like Mongolia and Japan, as well as Korea, it seems unlikely that the program will be immediately canceled. However, considering that President Trump has led the dialogue with the United States in a so-called “top-down” way, it seems inevitable to some extent in American diplomacy. Even for the Korean government, which is in alliance with the United States, it is difficult to accelerate with the goal of the ‘October Surprise’. President Moon Jae-in proposed a quarantine cooperation body in Northeast Asia at the United Nations General Assembly last month and tried to use the Corona 19 crisis as a starting point for dialogue. However, in just 10 days, we were faced with an ironic situation in which Corona 19 even penetrated the North American dialogue. YTN Na Yeonsu[[email protected]]is.
