South Korean President Lee Jae Myung asks U.S. President Donald Trump to lead efforts to resolve the North Korea issue peacefully, according to Lee’s office. The request is framed by a comparison to Trump’s alleged approach during the war in the Middle East. Both sources report that Lee makes the appeal directly to Trump, urging Washington to take a leading role in de-escalation and diplomacy rather than pursuing a military path. The reports do not provide additional details on the timing of the request, specific proposals, or any immediate response from the United States. They also do not specify whether the request is part of a broader bilateral negotiation on North Korea or related security issues in the region. Overall, the coverage focuses on the call for U.S. leadership in peaceful engagement with North Korea, reflecting South Korea’s preference for diplomacy to address the ongoing threat posed by North Korea’s nuclear and missile programmes.
