South Korea less likely to send weapons to Ukraine after Trump election victory — Bloomberg

South Korea is rethinking whether it will send weapons to Ukraine following Donald Trump’s victory in the U.S. presidential election, Bloomberg reported on Thursday, citing officials in the country.

One official told the outlet that Seoul will look to see how other countries adjust their military support for Ukraine in response to Trump’s approach to the war.

According to Bloomberg, the officials’ comments suggest that Trump’s reelection has made South Korea less likely to send weapons to Ukraine unless Pyongyang steps up its involvement or Trump’s plan for the war becomes clearer.

In October, South Korea’s Yonhap News Agency reported that Seoul was considering sending military and intelligence personnel to Ukraine in response to the involvement of North Korean troops fighting on Russia’s side.
