On a private plane to Malaysia, President Trump responded to reporters' questions about tariff and trade negotiations with South Korea, saying, "I think we are almost in the final stages. If Korea is ready, then so am I," he confidently said, ,,, a senior official from the Trump administration also stated, "We are very eager to reach an agreement with Korea as soon as possible, as long as Korea is willing to accept conditions the U.S . considers appropriate." At the end of last July, the two countries agreed on a major trade Although an agreement was reached, amid the ongoing tug-of-war over the structure and method of Korea's $350 billion (500 trillion won) investment package to the U.S., he appears to have expressed hope that if Korea accepts the conditions demanded by the U.S., the agreement will be immediately reached. Trump In the U.S.-China trade negotiations, he said, "China has to make concessions, and we have to make concessions too. We are trying to impose a 157% tariff on China, but I think that's an unmanageable level," he said, expressing that he himself does not want to see that happen. Moreover, with China recently effectively halting imports of U.S. soybeans, the issue of 'expanding soybean imports' has emerged at the Korea-U.S. tariff negotiation table,,,, It is known that the U.S. has requested South Korea to expand imports to secure sales channels for overproduced soybeans, but our government appears to be drawing a line, saying, "We are not considering it." However, with U.S. President Donald Trump's pressure to secure sales channels ahead of the midterm elections, combined with complaints from the domestic tofu industry about raw material shortages, 'How to defend against pressure to open agricultural products in trade negotiations' is becoming a new challenge for our government. Experts say, "The Korean market is small and offers almost no real benefit, and the U.S. demands are more of a political gesture to appease its own farmers ," suggesting, "We should focus on national interests and do our best to protect our market and approach negotiations in a way that does not damage agricultural competitiveness." But this person carries the tone that demands should be granted ,,, of course, which is quite unpleasant!! Demanding our sacrifices for their own political stance is truly a poor form of character!!!!!,,,,
