I tend to agree. Even if shipping US coal to China makes the coal a bit more expensive than the Korean coal, it would probably be way way cheaper for Trump to subsidize that coal and economically strangle Korea for a few years to get them to the bargaining table than just about any other option. And seeing as Trump met with China's Xi recently, that may very well have been a topic of discussion.
