Thing is, South Korea is producing it's military equipment themselves now, with little input from the US. In fact, what they got in terms of American equipment is either very old and mothballed (like M48 Patton Tanks and M113 APC) or produced locally under license - and even those are slowly getting replaced by local designs. They also have several designs that are getting replaced, so there certainly is some stuff they could send to Ukraine, especially Artillery and K1 tanks, but also Man-portable weapons and wheeled APC plus tons of unarmored trucks and 4x4. And several Russian equipment units which was used as a way to repay soviet debt. As such, there's very little Trump could do to stop them from sending stuff to Ukraine. And economic sanctions that would be returned in kind would certainly hurt the US more than it would hurt Korea. |
Yes I know that, what I meant is that Trump wouldn't help South Korea in case of some crazy idea from NK to attack them. Maybe even with Russian help. Sure, it's unrealistic but it's harder to give your equipment to Ukraine with NK as neighbour when you know that USA isn't on your side then.
