Here is what an incoming Korea-American Congressman thinks of Trump’s Korea policies:

Korean American Congressman-elect Dan Koh expressed concern Wednesday over the state of the South Korea-U.S. alliance under President Donald Trump, pledging to help restore bilateral ties while questioning the prospects of productive diplomacy between Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.
Koh, a Democrat who won a House seat representing Massachusetts in last week’s midterm elections, made the remarks during a press conference hosted by the Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus in Washington.
“I’m very concerned about the relationship,” Koh said, stressing that the alliance should remain strong regardless of whether a Republican or Democratic president occupies the White House.

“So I will be doing everything I can to be restoring the alliance that I felt was thriving under Joe Biden, where I worked in the Biden White House,” he said.
Asked about the possibility of Trump meeting North Korean leader Kim during his upcoming Asia trip, Koh said he supported diplomacy with North Korea but doubted that the president’s approach would produce constructive results for either South Korea or the United States.
“I do not think that this is a president who’s going to look for a productive, peaceful progress forward between South and North Korea,” Koh said. “I think he’s looking for notes on how to be a dictator, and I don’t think that we should be playing that game.”
