특파원단 오찬간담회…외교안보라인 쇄신론에 개인적 견해 밝혀

(워싱턴=연합뉴스) 홍정규 이유미 특파원 = 더불어민주당 맹성규 의원은 12일(현지시간) 여당 일각에서 불거진 외교안보라인 쇄신론과 관련, 당의 전반적 분위기가 "위성락 국가안보실장보다는 정동영 통일부 장관이나 이종석 국정원장한테 더 힘을 실어주지 않을까"라고 말했다.

국회 외교통일위원회 소속인 맹 의원은 이날 주미한국대사관 국정감사 도중 워싱턴 DC의 한국문화원에서 가진 특파원단 오찬 간담회에서 이같이 밝혔다.

다만, 맹 의원은 민주당이 위성락 안보실장보다 정 장관과 이 원장에 더 힘을 실을 것이라는 견해는 자신의 개인적 관측이며, 민주당이 의원총회 등을 통해 당내 총의를 모은 바는 없다고 덧붙였다.

앞서 같은 당 박지원 의원은 최근 방송에 출연해 "이대로는 안 된다. 미국이 이대로 물러서지 않는다"며 외교안보라인 쇄신론을 언급했다.

맹 의원의 발언은 마코 루비오 미국 국무부 장관이 지난달 18일 조현 외교부 장관과의 회담에서 한미 정보공유 협력에 대한 문제를 제기하며 "한국 국가정보원 등 정보라인 지휘부에 대한 신뢰가 손상됐다"고 말했다는 무소속 한동훈 의원의 주장을 반박하는 과정에서 나왔다.

한 의원은 자신의 주장과 관련, 루비오 장관이 조 장관을 통해 이재명 정부에 이 원장과 정 장관의 거취 문제에 대한 입장을 우회적으로 전달한 것이었다고 부연했다.

Open Questions

  • 민주당 내 외교안보라인에 대한 공식적인 논의가 진행되고 있는지 여부
  • 미국 측이 실제로 한국의 정보라인에 대한 신뢰 문제를 제기했는지의 사실 여부
  • 이번 논의가 실제 인사 개편으로 이어질 가능성

The Embassy in the US is in a battle over ‘diplomacy with the US’... “Can’t shake it” “Cracks the alliance”

During the National Assembly Foreign Affairs and Unification Committee's audit of the embassy to the United States, the opposition party criticized the cracks in the ROK-U.S. alliance for reasons such as disruptions in intelligence cooperation between South Korea and the U.S., while the ruling party countered that pending issues caused by changes in the Trump administration's foreign policy should not be defined as a crack in the alliance. Ambassador to the United States Kang Kyung-wha countered that he was aware of the problem and emphasized that the relationship between Korea and the United States is a deep and broad relationship that has developed into an alliance for over 70 years.
