At a Cabinet meeting held at the White House, Trump spoke about the trade negotiations that have been concluded with various countries.
"I don't want to hurt them, but they tried to do something. But in the end they stuck to the agreement. That was good," he said. Regarding trade negotiations with South Korea, he said, "I heard there were problems. But
"I met with the South Korean president yesterday and they resolved the issue," he said. "We didn't do anything extra. They just kept to the agreement."
Trump did not mention specific issues, but his remarks indicated that the remaining issues in the trade negotiations, which the two countries had already agreed on in principle, were being discussed at the Lee Jae-mi summit held the previous day.
This appears to suggest that the issue was resolved in a way that was favorable to the United States during the summit meeting with President Lee Jae-myung. Meanwhile, South Korea announced in negotiations on the 30th of last month that it would lift the 25% reciprocal tariffs imposed by the United States.
The two sides agreed to lower the U.S. Treasury's interest rate to 15 percent in exchange for a $350 billion investment in the United States and a $100 billion purchase of U.S. energy.
