Secure Freedom Minute: Memo to POTUS: Angry with Lee? Insist He Free Amb. Tan

President Trump has expressed frustration with his South Korean counterpart, Lee Jae Myung, over his unwillingness to help the U.S. in the Strait of Hormuz. In response, American participation in annual military exercises with the Republic of Korea has been cut back. 

Mr. Trump is right to be upset with Lee, but has plenty of other reasons — and a more pointed and desirable vehicle for expressing it. The South Korean president is a Communist, fraudulently elected and moving aggressively to transform his country from a thriving, pro-American democracy into a despotic state aligned with Beijing and Pyongyang.

As a new open letter to President Trump sponsored by the Committee on the Present Danger: China makes clear, he can and should rebuke Lee by insisting on the freeing of a former top Trump diplomat, Ambassador Morse Tan, being held hostage in Seoul. That must end now.

This is Frank Gaffney.
