Trick or treat _ North Korean style

As expected, South Korea and the United States have decided to suspend their war games for this year as demanded by North Korea. It's an inevitable choice for the allies to ensure peace during the Feb. 8-25 PyeongChang Winter Olympic Games. So the parties involved got what they wanted but which gets the best deal from it?

Moon's Dear John letter to US

The unbelievable beating of Korean journalists accompanying President Moon Jae-in on his Chinese visit Thursday has failed to deter Moon. Neither did Beijing’s poor reception of the Korean president at the airport a day earlier.

Flawed US weapon sale pitch

During his recent visit to Korea, U.S. President Donald Trump boasted that U.S. weapons are the world’s best and he had Korea ordering them worth billions of dollars. There are two questions as to his boast: 1) Did he take credit for the deals made by somebody else? 2) Are U.S. weapons the best in the world? While his predecessor Obama was in power, Korea had ordered 40 Joint...
