Seoul envoy flags trust deficit in US alliance, citing intelligence-sharing limits

South Korea's ambassador to the US, Kang Kyung-wha, publicly acknowledged limitations in intelligence sharing with Washington, a rare admission of strain in the alliance. This follows disputes over investment deals and reported leaks, and it undermines Seoul's confidence in its ability to counter North Korea. The admission signals a potential shift in alliance dynamics, though the full extent of the rift remains unclear.
