The Accidental Linchpin

  • Korea Chair Platform
    Jul 13, 2010

    On the sidelines of the recent G20 summit in Toronto, U.S. President Barack Obama emerged from his meeting with his South Korean counterpart Lee Myung-bak with two major announcements: A new timetable for transfer of wartime operational control of South Korean forces to Seoul, and a personal commitment to move the U.S.-Korea Free Trade Agreement forward. These are undeniably very important policy deliverables for the alliance, and kudos should be awarded to Cheong Wa Dae and White House staff for achieving these agreements.
