This is the first time in history that South Korea has received this classification by the US government

The US Department of Energy (DOE), which supervises US energy policy and duties relating to nuclear power research and development and military nuclear weapon programs, has classified South Korea as a “sensitive country” and established regulatory measures in line with this, the Hankyoreh confirmed in an investigation on Sunday.

Classification as a sensitive country means that exchange and cooperation in connection with US advanced technology areas such as nuclear power and artificial intelligence (AI) are heavily restricted. This is the first time in history that South Korea has received this classification by the US government.

This actually makes sense.

Donald Trump is on the same side as Vladimir Putin, who is friends with Kim Jong Un.

Therefore, the enemies of North Korea are enemies of Donald Trump.

That's the only way any of trumps foreign policy makes sense.

Our allies are being un allied before our eyes.... At the end of the term, us will have no allies left

There will be no end of the term. Fascism doesn't just step aside when it's term ends.

No peaceful end of term, maybe. They might have to find out January 6th doesn't just come once, and it doesn't always have to be at the Capitol.

Just wait until he goes back to Florida and then wall the state off.

Kill two birds with one stone.

Seems like the US and China will be good allies, judging by how things are going.

Wasn't he threatening China with tariffs all of about a week ago. Admittedly a week is a very long time in the head of Donald Trump, a man who can flip flop on policies within 20 minutes.
