Lee Jae-myung requests the White House to ‘intervene in the election’, disparages Korea’s ‘Japanese warlords’ by guaranteeing military buildup

Lee Jae-myung publicly announced that he requested the White House to ‘postpone’ tariff negotiations with the current administration due to ‘intervention in the election’, and on the 8th, he demanded that the Trump regime, which destroyed the ‘South Korea-US-Japan alliance’ of the Biden regime through military buildup, ‘restore’ it.
Lee’s foreign affairs and security advisor Kim Hyun-jong told reporters near the White House, “(The mutual tariffs were postponed) for 90 days, July 6th. So I did mention that I think we need more time,” and “The US nodded in response,” the White House advisor’s identity was revealed, unilaterally announcing this as an expression of intent to ‘agree to intervention.’

Advisor Kim clearly revealed his status as a messenger for this candidate to Korean reporters on the White House wall, confirming his ‘special envoy’ status.

Advisor Kim said, "I said that the US's approach to North Korea is a violation of UN resolutions, and I hope North Korea will stop launching," and "I personally think that we need to take measures to further strengthen our asymmetric conventional weapons so that we can respond when necessary," announcing that the Lee Jae-myung administration has demanded a North Korea policy of a military build-up from the Trump administration.

Korean media outlets, such as Seoul Economic Daily, reported that “Former Vice Minister Kim is known to have met with Ivan Kanapas, Senior Advisor to the National Security Council (NSC), and Andrew Baker, National Security Advisor to the Vice President,” and later the “real name of the advisor” was omitted from the article.
Aide Kim was appointed as his National Security Advisor by the National Assembly on February 7, before the candidate was officially declared a presidential candidate, and before the election results were announced, the current government requested the White House to scrap the agreement on tariffs with the US Treasury Secretary as the “July Package,” which constitutes election interference.
The candidate appears to have conveyed “the Trump regime’s guarantee of military buildup on the Korean Peninsula by accelerating South Korea’s conventional weapons buildup” through Aide Kim while attempting to explain to the White House the “odd Japan-centered foreign policy” that was later omitted from the revised version as stated in the impeachment grounds.
Aide Kim responded to the question, “What message did you convey to the US?” by saying, “Representative Lee He said that he made several comments, one of which was that "South Korea-US-Japan cooperation must continue."
Regarding the "one month before the election interview," Aide Kim said, "I think it is an important procedure to meet each other early and confirm that we have similar thoughts on issues," confirming election intervention through "policy coordination."
Aide Kim told reporters standing in front of the White House fence that the announcement of the "Satsuma Alliance (1866)", a temporary military strategic alliance between the "Choshu Domain (長州藩·Yamaguchi Prefecture) and the Satsuma Domain (薩摩藩·Kagoshima Prefecture)," as "South Korea-Japan cooperation" was tantamount to "national disparagement" by directly comparing South Korea to the Japanese warlords and local powers who were continuing conflict and clashes by likening the "Edo Shogunate" to the White House at the time.
Aide Kim said in his announcement, "South Korea-US-Japan relations, especially the cooperative relationship with Japan, must be strengthened further. I said, "Given the circumstances, Korea and Japan should cooperate closely," and "Korea and Japan need to cooperate at that level, just like the Satsuma and Choshu clans, who were enemies during the Japanese shogunate, cooperated."

He continued, "From the US perspective, Korea-US-Japan cooperation is very, very important. "In the case of Lee Jae-myung, the US side explained at length that they will maintain the Korea-US-Japan cooperative relationship and, if possible, need to strengthen it further and find a way to do so."
This is a demand for the 'restoration' of the 'destroying' of the Korea-US-Japan trilateral system in the tariff negotiation system by 'separating Korea and Japan' that he had already attempted under the Trump administration.
Aide Kim demonstrated a press conference while standing in front of Korean reporters at the White House so that the White House's barbed wire fence and the front of the building were visible and the KBS reporter's face was visible to the side. 

KBS began the news by saying that the anchor "had a surprise meeting with a senior White House official in the US," and the Washington reporter reported on the 9th that "they had a surprise meeting with senior officials of the Trump administration."
US Treasury Secretary Bessent excluded 'currency' from negotiations with Japan and separated 'tariff negotiations', and formalized the policy of 'complete separation of Korea-Japan negotiations' with a 'combined currency and tariff package' for Korea.
US Defense Secretary Hennessy visited Japan and Korea during his Asia tour. Separated, expanded the ‘command’ in Japan, avoided visiting Korea, and immediately moved from Tokyo to the Philippines to establish a ‘military security system’, and Japan formalized its East Asia-focused strategy of ‘expanding the free trade zone from the Philippine security alliance to Vietnam’ and began the ‘separation of Japan and Korea’ policy.

On December 5th of last year, the Lee Jae-myung administration, through the ‘impeachment motion’ of six opposition parties, stated that “under the pretext of value diplomacy, it has ignored geopolitical balance, antagonized North Korea, China, and Russia, insisted on a bizarre foreign policy centered on Japan, and has caused isolation in Northeast Asia and triggered a war crisis, thereby neglecting national security and the duty to protect the people.”

It revealed a pro-Trump tendency by excluding the content of the ‘martial law ideological coup against the free Republic of Korea’ and specifying President Biden’s ‘South Korea-US-Japan alliance’ system as the reason for impeachment.
The martial law declaration of the Yoon Seok-yeol administration on December 3rd rejected the democratic republic of the Constitution and He declared ‘Free Republic of Korea’ as the new national policy and ordered the ‘elimination of anti-state forces to protect Free Republic of Korea’, showing the typical example of a fascist ideological coup d’état.
The Trump administration had previously dismissed National Security Advisor Waltz on the 1st and reorganized the system to have Secretary of State Rubio concurrently serve as National Security Advisor, and on the same day, he dismissed Deputy National Security Advisor Alex Wing, who was in charge of North Korea strategy.
Despite the fact that the Trump administration’s approach to North Korea completely changed from the impossibility of direct diplomatic contact to the leadership of intelligence agencies due to Russia’s intervention and growing tariff conflicts with China as the Ukraine negotiations were frustrated by Russia’s brakes, Advisor Kim requested the White House on that day, ‘Please notify South Korea when approaching North Korea.’

As President Moon Jae-in's deputy national security director, Aide Kim reprimanded a Ministry of Foreign Affairs official in English in front of Foreign Minister Kang Kyung-wha on a private plane to the US for the Korea-US summit, and President Moon told President Trump at the New York summit that "Koreans respect President Trump."

On the 7th, President Trump signed a bill at the White House designating May 8, the day Nazi Germany unconditionally surrendered to the Allied Forces in World War II, as “Victory Day,” while excluding the subsequent war and victory with Japan and denying “Japan’s special treatment” and “Korean Liberation Day due to Japan’s surrender.” 

President Trump then said, “I will designate November 11, the day the armistice of World War I was signed, as ‘Victory Day,’” but this day has already been designated as “Veterans Day” and is a statutory holiday.
