MASSAPEDIA NEWS - Donald Trump is a savvy sparked controversy, threats, and puzzled, both at home and abroad. The latest comments Donald Trump makes a lot of people frown is the matter of nuclear weapons.

In an interview with Anderson Cooper on CNN Tuesday, Trump if becomes president of the United States will pull troops out of two of their biggest partner country and replace them with nuclear weapons.


Currently there are 54 thousand US troops in Japan and 28,500 in South Korea. According to Trump, Japan and South Korea will be better if it is able to protect themselves from the "maniac North Korea".

"To be honest it would be better if South Korea began to protect themselves or they have to pay us," said US presidential candidate of the Republican Party.


Trump's comments sparked a reaction from Japan and South Korea. Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe even feel the need to respond openly.

"Whoever becomes the next US president, the US-Japan alliance is the cornerstone of Japan's diplomacy," Abe said.


Japan today is the only country who have been victims of nuclear weapons. In addition, Japan also has a policy of non-nuclear weapons as well as the constitution of peace since the end of World War II.

That's why Trump's comments about the placement of nuclear weapons in Japan is considered confusing. "There may be a Japanese arm himself with nuclear weapons," said Foreign Minister Fumio Kishida.


The US government criticized Trump statement about North Korea, which does not help the US military costs in the country.

"South Korea was a money machine but they pay us peanuts ... South Koreans must pay us for their protection," said Trump.


Comments Trump is considered to be one great by South Korean Foreign Ministry, the US ambassador to South Korea and even the White House.

US Ambassador to South Korea Mark Lippert said the Seoul government pays 55 percent of non-personnel expenditures American.


Former US Ambassador to South Korea Christopher Hill even confessed confusion over Trump statement. "I do not know what he's talking about, but it seems he himself was confused," said Hill.

Troy University international relations observer of Daniel Pinkston said Trump's comments worsen the US image in the eyes of neighboring countries.


"Is he going to win the nomination or not, or whether he is elected president or not, even at this stage, he is already damaging the US reputation in the eyes of international and undermine US security interests," said Pinkston.
