Trump voices concern about North Korean ‘provocations’ in phone call with Yoon

South Korean president says Trump expressed interest in DPRK issues, amid attention on if he’ll seek to restart talks

South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol congratulated Donald Trump on his election victory in a phone call on Thursday, with the U.S. president-elect reportedly expressing concern about North Korean “provocations” like launches of trash balloons and intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs).

In a press conference after the call, Yoon said Trump appeared highly interested in the DPRK and not just the nuclear weapons issue, amid attention on whether the former president could seek to rekindle diplomacy with Kim Jong Un.
