【Yoon Suk-yeol told Trump: We will not respond unless North Korea's provocation causes South Korean casualties】
On December 23, 2025, Seoul time, former South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol stated during a closed-door trial:
If there was a provocation such as a South Korean drone attack on North Korea, the decision-making process would certainly report it to me, but I did not receive any related reports.
Yoon explained in detail:
I had a 10-minute phone call with current U.S. President Donald Trump in November 2024, and we discussed the issue of North Korea launching garbage balloons toward South Korea. In the call, I emphasized specifically: South Korea is adopting a "strategic waiting" approach, and we will not take any response unless North Korea's provocation causes South Korean casualties.
