Overview

• Trump said he hopes to meet Kim Jong Un this year after Lee urged him to act as a peacemaker on the Korean Peninsula.
• Both governments reaffirmed July’s trade-and-investment framework, including plans to bolster U.S. shipbuilding with Korean participation under the MASGA initiative.
• Hours before the summit, Trump posted that South Korea "seems like a Purge or Revolution," later saying he was referring to reported raids on churches and on a Korean-run area of a jointly operated base.
• South Korea’s presidential office said it would check the situation and verify Trump’s remarks from social media.
• Trump raised the idea of U.S. ownership of land used for bases in Korea and avoided discussing potential USFK troop changes, with technical issues to be handled in follow-up talks.
