Strategy meeting on US tariffs
Acting President and Prime Minister Han Duck-soo, center, holds a meeting on strategy against U.S. tariffs with top government officials and business leaders, including Finance Minister Choi Sang-mok, second from left, and Trade Minister Cheong In-kyo, second from right, at the prime minister's official residence in Seoul, Monday. Han said Korea has explained to U.S. President Donald Trump what Korea will negotiate with the U.S., adding that Trump was satisfied and seemed to have instructed his administration to “launch negotiations immediately” with Korea, Japan and India. Han said the two countries would hold a video meeting on the development of a liquefied natural gas pipeline in Alaska. Yonhap
