The Korean Crisis of Freedom and Democracy

by Newt Gingrich

When it was originally announced that newly-elected Korean President Lee Jae-myung would meet with President Donald J. Trump in Washington, I expected a totally positive event.

The United States has been committed to the defense of South Korea for 75 years. In fact, my father fought there in 1953 and went back in the 1960s in the Army to help protect South Korea. With our protection it has evolved into one of the leading manufacturing countries in the world.

South Korean shipbuilding is the second largest in the world exceeded only by communist China. In fact, South Korea builds about 35% of all the merchant ships worldwide annually.
