Prioritize the management of the situation over Trump’s dissent
Focusing on creating a diplomatic environment for the early conclusion of the summit call with Biden-elect
President Moon Jae-in tweeted about the victory of Democratic Party presidential candidate Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris in the US presidential election on the 8th. Let’s go together. “Official diplomatic media such as congratulations and congratulations. calls have been postponed for a while. It was noted that President Donald Trump, who remains in office, has not given up on the election results. Looking at the internal political situation in the US, it is likely that he is in direct contact with the new government at the appropriate time.
President Moon today quoted the two elected officials Biden and Harris on Twitter as saying, “Our alliance is strong and the solidarity between the two countries is very strong,” in Korean and English. President Moon also welcomed: “I look forward to working with the two of you for our shared values.” President Moon’s congratulatory Twitter message is approximately eight hours after Biden’s de facto victory declaration in a statement.
President Moon’s congratulations on Biden’s victory via Twitter, not an official diplomatic outlet, seem to have taken into account the situation in the United States, where President Trump has expressed his willingness to disagree with the presidential election, and It will not survive the lawsuit. It is no different from the congratulations to Biden-elect from all the leaders of major countries such as Japan, the UK and Germany via Twitter. This is because the government must contact the Trump administration until January 20 of next year, when the Biden administration takes office. In particular, it seems that the cooperation of the Trump administration is absolutely necessary to steadily manage the situation on the Korean peninsula in a situation where the possibility of North Korean provocation is expected.
Of course, direct contact with Biden-elect is unlikely to be delayed. This is because there are urgent issues facing the United States such as the reactivation of the peace process on the Korean peninsula and the election of the Secretary General of the World Trade Organization (WTO), which was questioned by the head of the Headquarters of Trade Negotiations of the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Energy Myung-hee Myung-hee. The Blue House and the government appear to be making their first effort to create diplomatic conditions that will allow for a call between President Moon and President-elect Biden as soon as possible.
President Moon’s visit to the US is not easy to rush due to the new coronavirus infection (Corona 19). There is little chance that it will be possible only after the Biden-elect opening ceremony is held on January 20 next year. However, the possibility that President-elect Moon’s visit to the US may not be ruled out on a grand scale if a call is made between President Moon and Biden, however.
Earlier, during the US presidential election on November 8, 2016, former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe spoke with then-elect Trump by phone, and then met in New York on November 17, a week later. A Passport official said: “Biden-elect is a longtime supporter of former President Kim Dae-jung’s Sunshine policy, and his economic policy is in line with the Green New Deal policy, which is the core of the version. Korean administration Moon Jae-in. As harmony has been achieved, there will be a lot of work to gather strength ”.
