Apparently Trump is Pres, now, is assuring So. Korea of future WH policy.

U.S. President-elect Donald Trump's national security adviser says North Korea's nuclear program would be given a high priority under the new administration, a South Korean official who held talks with him said on Saturday.

Michael Flynn, one of Trump's closest advisers, also said he would work to strengthen the U.S. alliance with South Korea, calling the relationship "vital," the South's deputy presidential national security adviser Cho Tae-yong was quoted as saying by Yonhap news agency.

Cho was leading a South Korean delegation to the United States to meet with key advisers to the president-elect to discuss the two countries' response to the North's pursuit of nuclear weapons in defiance of international sanctions.

Cho spoke to South Korean reporters in Washington following the meeting with Flynn, Yonhap said.

Am I off base here, or is Trump sending signals to allies to ignore the current Pres./Gov't WH re: any info. even before he gets his fingerprints all over the place?

He seems to be going on without the formalities of forming a Cabinet, staff etc. end certainly not waiting for his actual term to begin and for the incumbent's term to end.

We are so screwed if he actually takes office.

without any clearance from our State Dept.
He is aciting like he is President now, and Obama does not exist.

Actually, he is not even President elect until the electoral college meets and makes it official.

I can only imagine what heads of state think about this around the world.
