Trump Jr. (47), the eldest son of former US President Donald Trump, was interviewed by a national civic group during his visit to Korea earlier this month. He claimed his father had done a good job containing North Korea and that his political rival, President Joe Biden, was “a weak adversary who would stimulate North Korea’s carnivorous instinct (predatory nature) . » Trump Jr. participated in politics while working at his father’s business and is a key member of his father Trump’s campaign in the 2024 United States presidential election, following 2016 and 2020.
Trump Jr. visited Korea on a personal schedule earlier this month. During his visit to Korea, Trump Jr. had a conversation of about 20 minutes with Kim Min-ah (35), CEO of Build Up Korea, in Seoul.
During this conversation, Trump Jr. expressed his views on various Korea-related issues.
Trump Jr. responded to the story that “Korean media makes it seem like former President Trump doesn’t like Korea because he wants Korea to pay more for defense and take on more responsibilities.” » Trump Jr. said: “My father loves Korea. ” and “My first visit to Korea was also with my father.” “We were together,” he said. “There is absolutely no reason to hate Korea,” he said. he said. “However, the most important thing in running a country is its own interests, followed by relations with other countries.” He continued: “In a relationship, everyone must have their own responsibilities.” and authority.”

Regarding relations with North Korea, Trump Jr. said: “My father did a good job suppressing North Korea when he was in power. They were people who understood the logic of power well. For example, it’s natural to feel the need to attack President Biden,” he said. “Striking a weak opponent is a long-standing animal predatory instinct. »
He said: “There is a need to establish relationships (between countries). It must be different from now. The United States alone has a debt of $34 trillion (about 4 trillion won). But anyone can apply. This time, $150 billion (about 207 trillion won) will be sent to Ukraine. “No one can say why they’re sending it,” he said. “Everyone needs to come to the negotiating table with the United States. “Indeed, from the American point of view, this type of support traditionally provided does not guarantee permanent effectiveness from the American point of view. »
He continued: “The ‘relationship’ (where support is exchanged) must be reborn as a true ‘partnership’. There must be mutual understanding, just say: “Good”. “You can’t say, ‘You paid the money, so do what you want and continue helping us like before,'” he said. “My father took the same approach with NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization).”
Trump Jr. said: “The request for defense cost sharing directly implicates the parties involved. Sharing defense costs creates responsibility and authority. In an instant, the question of national defense becomes more important. “This is a very important question,” he said. “(The defense cost-sharing request) is not an attempt to be rude to Korea. “I’m just speaking out of common sense,” he added.
◇”I ate at McDonald’s with my two sons and it cost me more than 60,000 won… The high prices are a very big problem.”
During the conversation, the recent rise in prices around the world was also discussed. Former President Trump’s assets total $3 billion (about 4 trillion won), according to documents he submitted to the court last year.
He said: “Even though I’m the son of a billionaire in Manhattan, New York, when I go to the supermarket to buy things, I get angry because the prices are too high. A few weeks ago, I went to McDonald’s with my two sons and the bill came to $47 (about 64,000 won). People like me are not very affected by the price increase. However, it is a serious problem for people who earn between 50 million and 70 million won a year.”
The possibility of Trump Jr. participating in politics was also introduced. He was a man who helped his father run a real estate development business in New York and elsewhere. However, Donald Trump began participating in politics by running for president.
Trump Jr. said, “I’m a conservative person. However, it is difficult for conservatives to run a real estate development business in New York. The first political support group I went to was for former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo. As you know, Cuomo is a big leftist,” he said. “But Cuomo was the governor and attorney general of the state of New York. It was the final approval authority for building permits in New York State. Without a relationship with Cuomo, new construction and sales were difficult. “I had to work regardless of political orientation, regardless of left or right,” he said.
He also said, “Democratic Party voters tried to put my father in jail and pay him billions of dollars in fines,” adding, “Everything changed when my father entered politics.” “I had to choose between sitting in the corner of the room and doing nothing or fighting, and I chose to fight.”

Regarding former President Trump’s poor image in Korea, he said the media was largely to blame for the problem.
Trump Jr. said: “Usually people judge people through the media. However, regardless of the topic, many cases in the media contain lies or exaggerations aimed at creating a false narrative for a specific purpose,” he said. “Sometimes it takes six months, two weeks or five years for the facts to come to light. be corrected. » But by then, the media had already achieved their goal. Nowadays, the media has gone way beyond the limits. You can’t fool people forever. “People will know,” he said.
