South Korean President Lee Jae Myung is making a bold move by pushing for a timetable to take wartime operational control, aiming to replace the American general with a South Korean leader. This decision comes at a time when Seoul is facing difficulties with the second Trump administration, divided over trade and involvement in the U.S. president's war in Iran. The U.S. Ambassador to South Korea, Michelle Steel, has described the ties as being in a state of turbulence. Despite these challenges, Lee is determined to speed up the timeline for this significant shift in military control, although Washington has indicated 2029 as a possibility and the allies have yet to agree on a final date.
