Half of South Koreans think Trump return will negatively impact North Korea ties

Poll also finds two-thirds support nuclear armament, amid doubts about president-elect’s commitment to Seoul’s defense

Half of South Koreans believe Donald Trump's return to the White House will negatively impact ROK national security and relations with North Korea, according to a new survey released Friday. 

The Gallup Korea public opinion poll conducted from Nov. 12 to 14 with 1,002 voters nationwide also found that two-thirds of respondents support South Korea developing nuclear weapons, amid concerns about the president-elect’s commitment to defending the U.S. ally against DPRK threats.
