U.S. President-elect Donald Trump said he agrees “100 percent” with South Korean President Park Geun-hye on the need to preserve a security alliance that has for decades acted as a deterrent to the regime in North Korea.

Trump made the comments Thursday during a 10-minute phone conversation with Park, South Korea’s presidential office said in a statement.
