?I am ready to give my all to uniting the divided country and making South Korea a first-rate nation,? Mr. Ban said. But another visitor, Kim Ki-tae, also a Ban fan, feared that Mr. Ban might not survive the thrust and parry of domestic politics. Critics called Mr. Ban a turncoat when he later appeared to align himself closely with conservatives, including Ms. Park. PhotoSince he has returned home, Mr. Ban has defined himself as a ?progressive conservative? who can mend an ideologically fractured country. One of the first things Mr. Ban did after his homecoming was support the deployment of an American missile defense system that has angered North Korea and China.
Leaders in Iran and Iraq, two of the countries targeted by Mr. Trump?s order, issued furious denunciations on Sunday and vowed to take retaliatory measures. Pakistan, another country whose citizens have carried out attacks in the United States, also ducked Mr. Trump?s list.

Yet in much of the Middle East, Mr. Trump is less likely to get such a scolding.
