Trump says he will work with South Korea on tariff solution

U.S. President Donald Trump stated on Jan. 27 that he would work with South Korea to find a solution regarding his proposed tariff increases on the country's products. According to Yonhap News, Trump made the remarks to reporters at the White House before departing for Iowa. The previous day, he had announced on Truth Social his intention to raise tariffs on South Korean goods, including automobiles, from 15% to 25%. He cited delays in the passage of a special act on investment in the U.S. by South Korea's National Assembly as the reason for the move.
