President Trump questioned South Korea’s political stability on Truth Social, hours before he was to host President Lee Jae Myung at the White House to discuss tariffs, trade and military cooperation, Axios reports.

Said Trump: “Seems like a Purge or Revolution. We can’t have that and do business there.”

If Yoon's coup, was a leftwing coup, Trump would've been fine with it.
