U.S. President Donald Trump mentioned South Korea again on the 6th (local time), saying he had not been helped by European and Asian allies in the war against Iran.
President Trump said at a press conference held in the briefing room of the White House that he did not get help from NATO in the war against Iran, and said, "It wasn't just NATO. Who else didn't help us? It's South Korea."
"We have 45,000 (US troops in South Korea) in rough waters and are right next to Kim Jong-un, who has a lot of nuclear weapons," he also stressed.
It reiterated its dissatisfaction with the failure to respond to the request to dispatch a warship to the Strait of Hormuz last month.
The number of U.S. troops in Korea is about 28,500, but once again, 45,000.
Australia and Japan also mentioned it in turn.
Regarding Japan, he also stressed that the U.S. has 50,000 U.S. troops in Japan and is protecting them from North Korea.
On NATO, he mocked it as a "paper tiger" and said Russian President Vladimir Putin does not scare NATO, but scares the United States.
He praised Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Bahrain, and Kuwait as "excellent."
Earlier, President Trump mentioned South Korea, Japan and China together in his speech at an Easter luncheon event on the 1st, and the White House deleted the video of the speech at that time.
However, after five days, he again expressed his dissatisfaction with Korea and others at the White House press conference.
President Trump said at the conference that he got along very well with Chairman Kim and that he liked him.
"If any (U.S. president) did his job properly, Kim Jong-un would not have nuclear weapons now," he said. "They were afraid to do their job properly."
He added that he would not name the president.
President Trump also said that Chairman Kim said very good things about him, and that he was very mean to former President Joe Biden, saying that he was mentally troubled, but claimed that he liked it.

Just as Korea needs the United States, the United States also needs Korea.
It is truly sad that even such a basic mutual relationship is not understood.
The fact that this situation will continue for another three years is the worst.
