Moon Jae-in faces internal and external problems, so why did he make an urgent visit to the U.S. to deliver a "big gift"?

South Korea's president is trying to solve the problems he faces for the sake of relations with the United States. South Korea as a U.S. ally, every year for South Korea's troops to provide a lot of funding,and South Korea and the U.S. relationship has always been very good, not only in economic exchanges and other aspects of the more international community, South Korea is relying on the U.S. to grow their own political.

September 22, South Korean President Moon Jae-in departed for the United States to attend the 74th session of the United Nations General Assembly, and on the 23rd with U.S. President Donald Trump held talks. The South Korea-U.S. summit is Moon's 9th meeting with Trump in the 2 years since he assumed the presidency, and is also a rematch between the two sides after a 3-month hiatus. According to Cheong Wa Dae on Sept. 15, Moon "decided to participate personally" in the meeting outside of his schedule.

Moon Jae-in not only brought a "big gift" to the United States, but also gave the talks important expectations as a specially arranged meeting. Moon's "gift package" is designed to appease the U.S. and mend the South Korea-U.S. alliance, but also emphasizes the exchange of benefits to reap U.S. support for South Korea's diplomacy. But the problem is, in the South Korea-US relations, South Korea is in a weak party, limited influence on the United States; Trump is also in the next year's U.S. election, Trump Rump whether enough attention to the role of South Korea, whether it is willing to reduce the demand for South Korea's share of the cost of, and how much energy is willing to pay to help solve the problems of South Korea are still unknown.

In the international situation has developed to the present day, like South Korea, like the same effect, to seek a strong ally like the United States is necessary, not only in the economic aspects of the help, repair and the United States of America's relations. The U.S. attitude toward South Korea is also very important to the South Korean government.
