Trump has planned to go home immediately after talking with China and not stay in South Korea for another day!
Anyone can see clearly, Trump this time to Korea, the mind is not here at all, from the beginning to the end, looking at that conversation with China, as long as the conversation is over, stepping up the foot, waiting for a day is not a waste of money.
Take the meeting between the heads of state of China and the United States in Busan on October 30, 2025. Anyone who watched the scene knew which side was the focus. Trump took a Marine Corps One helicopter to the Golden Sea Air Force Base early, arriving before the Chinese side. He waited at the entrance of the venue. He also deliberately shouted "G2 Summit is about to be held" in all capital letters on social media. The anticipation can be felt through the screen.
You know, in the past, he had rarely been so proactive when meeting with leaders of other countries, let alone waiting in advance. Looking at the 21-gun salute and red carpet salute prepared by South Korea for China, Trump probably didn't even look at these grand welcoming ceremonies. He only had the 100 minutes of talks with China in his heart.
As soon as the talks ended, the secret was even more exposed. Chinese and American leaders walked out of the venue with a smile, and Trump actually personally accompanied the Chinese leader to the side of the special car, watching him get on the bus before leaving-this is not conventional etiquette, and this is generally only the case when there is a major diplomatic breakthrough, which shows how much he cares about the outcome of this meeting.
But after sending the Chinese side, he turned around and boarded the Air Force One, headed directly back home, and didn't even have time to sit down and talk to South Korean President Lee in Ming.
To know that Li had also specifically accepted an interview with Xinhua news agency before Ming, hoping to talk with China about the second phase of negotiations and supply chain cooperation, and also wanted to ask the Chinese side to work peacefully on the peninsula, but Trump did not take these things as a matter, and South Korea's hoped cooperation in his eyes has no value of negotiation.
Some people may say, is it because the talks didn't go well that they rushed to leave? On the contrary, Trump himself said that this meeting could score 12 points, which was higher than the full score. He also announced on the spot that the United States would reduce the tariff on fentanyl on China from 20% to 10%. China also promised to purchase a large number of American soybeans, and the rare earth problem was also said to be "solved".
With such a big "achievement" in hand, how could he still have the energy to spend it in South Korea? I can't wait to fly back to the United States immediately and show these results to China, especially to those farmers who are looking forward to selling soybeans and high-tech companies waiting for rare earths.
After all, the domestic pressure in the United States has long overwhelmed him. When the previous rounds of Sino-US negotiations failed to reach an agreement, the resentment of agricultural states was great, and high-tech enterprises urged to relax controls every day. Now that there is finally a result, it is natural to hurry back and claim credit.
Behind this are all solid interest calculations. What Trump knows best in his life is accounting. South Korea cannot compare with the interests between China and the United States.
In 2024, China-U.S. bilateral trade volume has reached 6882,8 billion, China-U.S. surplus will be $36,1 billion, while South Korea's exports to the U.S. have dropped directly from the first half of the first half to the third, only in August $87,4 billion, not even China's zero.
For Trump, after negotiating with China, American farmers can get orders, high-tech enterprises can ease the shortage of raw materials, and domestic inflationary pressure can be reduced; But no matter how good you talk with South Korea, can you have such a big oil and water? It's impossible.
He previously visited the Middle East, was also a mindset for arms sales, investments, and threw regional affairs aside, which has never changed, but only acknowledged interests.
Besides, Trump has always been "goal-oriented" and never does useless things. Before this trip to Asia, he signed agreements with Southeast Asian countries and held a "peace show" in Kuala Lumpur, which were actually paving the way. The real goal was this meeting with China.
Kuala Lumpur's Sino-U.S. economic and trade consultation just set the framework, he rushed to Busan and the Chinese head of state to settle, afraid of the night long dream.
To know that he had previously delayed even the original tariff increase time for the Sino-U.S. negotiations, it is now said that it is natural that the first time to go back to deal with the follow-up, regardless of the Korean feelings.
There is also a detail specifically explaining the issue, the Chinese side after the end of talks with Trump, the official visit to South Korea, which is the Chinese leader to visit South Korea after 11 years, is full of sincerity.
But what about Trump? He was unwilling to even stay for half a day and directly regarded South Korea as a "transit point for Sino-US talks." This contrast is too obvious. On the one hand, there is a long-term cooperation attitude that takes South Korea seriously, and on the other hand, there is a utilitarian mentality of leaving after using it.
In fact, this is not the first time. In 2019, when Sino-US economic and trade negotiations were at their most tense, Trump postponed tariffs for a while and negotiated overtime for a while. He only had China as an opponent and partner in his eyes, and other countries had to step aside.
To be honest, Trump's schedule is "Interest Shining Watch", who can bring real benefits to the United States, who has the right to make him spend more time.
China can determine the sales of soybeans and the supply of rare earths in the United States, and can affect inflation and employment in the United States, which South Korea cannot provide. Although South Korea is an ally of the United States, in Trump's eyes, allies also have to see how much benefits they can bring. Now it is obviously not as important as China.
So he plans to talk about China and go, it is not a temporary deal at all, but soon enough —— South Korea is only a temporary place for talks, the real core interests on the Chinese side, get the results and withdraw, that is the logic of Trump’s actions.
