Trump's Ultimatum on Troops vs. Cheongung: "Crossing a Red Line" (ft. Seoul National University Prof. Lee Moon-young)

U.S. President Donald Trump, who has been bluntly demanding troop deployments to aid Washington, recently shared a column on social media arguing that South Korea should sell its Cheongung-II surface-to-air missiles to Ukraine. This is being interpreted as pressure to provide the Cheongung-II to Ukraine. Appearing on SBS Discovery of Knowledge, Professor Lee Moon-young of the Seoul National University Institute for Peace and Unification Studies pointed out that Trump is essentially refusing to provide what he should be giving while demanding that South Korea hand it over. Alongside Professor Lee, we also examined the current situation of the Russia-Ukraine war, which has now passed the four-and-a-half-year mark. With Ukraine even holding an unmanned military parade, there are talks that advanced drone technology has shifted the tide of the war—is that really the case?
