Trump's South Korea gambit reprices alliance trust; Asia's security order shifts

An opinion piece argues that Trump's transactional approach to the US-South Korea alliance has fundamentally repriced trust, with long-term consequences for Asia's security architecture. The piece suggests that even if a summit restores some stability, the foundation of the alliance has been devalued, and this shift will outlast any single agreement. The claim is analytical and forward-looking, not a report of a specific event.
