미국 트럼프 행정부 출범과 한미관계의 방향

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

With the inauguration of President Donald Trump, the ROK and the United States need to eliminate the belief that one provides the other with unilateral benefits in their strategic alliance. They must establish a “mutually-beneficial strategic alliance” based on the shared belief that the ROK-US alliance serves the strategic interests of both countries. The ROK, as a beneficiary of the liberal international order, should emphasize that the KORUS FTA is a mutually beneficial mechanism with a view to minimizing possible trade conflicts between them. In addition, the Trump administration is likely to prefer offensive bilateralism rather than regional and multilateral cooperation in the Asia-Pacific. As a US obsession with bilateralism and the balance of power without multilateral cooperation could provoke anti-American sentiment in the region, the ROK should induce the United States to show its commitment to regional multilateral mechanisms such as the EAS, APEC, and the ARF. This is also expected to create a synergistic effect between Asia-Pacific regional cooperation and Northeast Asian mini- and multilateral efforts. Although the North Korean nuclear and missile threats are a top priority for the allies, they should consult on how to achieve Korean reunification and how to redefine the rationale of the ROK-US alliance after reunification. One option is that US forces on the unified Korea will be a regional stabilizing force that will never target a particular country.
