Trump-S Korea-tariffs
Trump says U.S. will work 'something' out with S. Korea on tariffs
By Song Sang-ho
WASHINGTON, Jan. 27 (Yonhap) -- U.S. President Donald Trump said Tuesday that his administration will work "something" out with South Korea regarding tariffs, after he threatened earlier this week to raise "reciprocal" tariffs and other duties on South Korea.
"We will work something out with South Korea," he said, in response to a question about whether to increase tariffs on the Asian country.
On Monday, Trump made the surprise announcement on a plan to increase "reciprocal" tariffs and auto duties on South Korea, among others, to 25 percent from 15 percent, taking issue with a delay in the Asian country's legislative procedures supporting implementation of the trade deal.
