PM calls for effective measures to prepare for Trump administration

SEOUL, Nov. 12 (Yonhap) -- Prime Minister Han Duck-soo on Tuesday called for officials to come up with effective measures to prepare for potential policy changes in the United States under President-elect Donald Trump.

Han made the call during a Cabinet meeting, anticipating "considerable policy shifts" in the U.S. across foreign affairs, security, trade and industry after Trump takes office in January.

"The government should ensure the close security cooperation framework between South Korea and the U.S. operates without any gaps," Han said. "I encourage close information sharing with relevant industries to develop effective strategies."

Han also urged the Cabinet to continue advancing cooperation with the U.S. in advanced technologies, such as artificial intelligence, advanced biotechnology and quantum technologies.

"The government will work to strengthen the solid South Korea-U.S. alliance with the new U.S. administration, and protect national security and interests," he said, pledging active support for Korean businesses abroad.
