Within the party, there were praises such as "We confirmed practical diplomacy centered on national interests" and "120 points out of 100."
The People Power Party harshly criticized it as a "historic diplomatic disaster."
They pointed out that the protocol, including airport reception, was neglected and that they did not receive satisfactory answers regarding agricultural product openings.
They criticized that instead, they ended up taking on additional issues such as the ownership of U.S. military base land and demands for purchasing American weapons, stating that it was not the time for self-congratulation.

They demanded an apology from the special prosecutor, stating that President Trump's mention of the special prosecutor's raid on church and the search of U.S. military bases itself was a disaster.
The Rebuilding Korea Party pointed out as an achievement that the U.S. was positioned as responsible for inter-Korean relations and peace restoration.
The Progressive Party stated that it is unwise to be overly reactive in the complex international situation, while the Reform Party emphasized the need to evaluate practical benefits and risks beyond political factions.
