South Korea and the U.S. have invested more than 70 years in the forging of a unifying alliance which has come to define the geopolitics of Asia. However, regional environments have dramatically shifted in recent years with the advancement of North Korea’s nuclear program and their growing military alliance with Russia. How this impacts the US-ROK relation may pivot on the outcome of the U.S. presidential election this November.
Join the Center for Korea Studies and the Consulate General of the Republic of Korea in Seattle for the 11th Korean Peninsula Forum to discuss the future of U.S.-South Korean relations in the aftermath of the US presidential election. To assess the prospects for U.S.-ROK relations, we welcome an esteemed panel of experts to review and interpret the future of U.S.-ROK relations, and to decipher Korea’s role between its greatest democratic ally and its largest economic partner.
