Trump Asked S.Korea Officials to Show Flexibility in Trade Talks: Seoul
Seoul. US President Donald Trump asked South Korean officials to show flexibility in trade negotiations with the United States in a phone call with South Korean President Moon Jae-in, the Blue House said in a statement on Friday (16/03).
South Korea and the United States were scheduled to hold a third round of talks for amendments to an existing bilateral free-trade agreement, known as Korus, in Washington this week.
"Officials from the United States and the Republic of Korea held discussions and are expeditiously negotiating amendments and modifications to the Korus agreement," US Trade Representative office spokeswoman Emily Davis said late on Friday.
"The United States emphasized rebalancing the agreement and addressing implementation issues," Davis said in a statement.
Trump has repeatedly said the free-trade deal with South Korea is "unfair" and has threatened to scrap it altogether on multiple occasions.
