💨 Abstract

South Korean President Lee Jae Myung expressed uncertainty about concluding tariff negotiations with the U.S. by Trump's set deadline. He aims to improve relations with North Korea but acknowledges deep mutual distrust. Key challenges for Lee's government include Trump's tariff policies, North Korea's nuclear ambitions, and domestic economic issues. Lee emphasizes the need for mutually beneficial outcomes in trade talks and supports resuming diplomacy with North Korea, backing Trump's efforts.
