[Asia Economy New York=Correspondent Baek Jong-min] U.S. President Donald Trump retracted the 'bait' he had thrown out by stating that he does not want to postpone the presidential election. However, he continued to strongly oppose the implementation of mail-in voting.

On the 30th (local time), during a press briefing held at the White House, President Trump was asked about postponing the election. He emphasized, "I want the election and the results much more than you do," and said, "Do I want to change the election schedule? No. I do not want a fraudulent election."

He added, "However, I do not want to wait for months (until the results) and then have all the ballots disappear," pointing out the issue with mail-in voting.

President Trump claimed that if mail-in voting is implemented, there will be great chaos in November, and that foreign manipulation of ballots would also be easy.

Just before the briefing, President Trump also suggested via Twitter that dishonest media had started discussing mail-in voting, implying that his claim about postponing the election was intended to oppose mail-in voting. During the briefing, he asserted that his tweet was "starting to have an interesting effect."

In a tweet earlier that morning, President Trump claimed that mail-in voting would be a "rigged election" and wrote, "Delay the election until people can vote properly, safely, and securely???" causing significant confusion.
