US EditionTrump Says He Reached a Deal on Trade With South Korea
- On Wednesday at the Gyeongju National Museum, US President Donald Trump said after an 87-minute meeting that he and South Korean President Lee Jae Myung had reached a trade deal.
- Following their failure to finalize a text on Aug. 25, Seoul and Washington intensified working‑level discussions earlier this year to formalize trade and security understandings into a single document.
- A top‑level breakthrough centered on Seoul's $350 billion investment framework aims to finalize terms after months of tariff negotiations, with key disputes over cash investment proportion, installment period, and profit‑sharing arrangements.
- Discussing alliance modernization, the leaders agreed to deepen cooperation to advance peace, while Lee pledged a defense budget increase and sought fuel for nuclear-powered submarines.
- Hours before Trump arrived in Seoul, North Korean state media reported a test-firing of sea-to-surface strategic cruise missiles Tuesday, and Trump said he remains committed to resolving the North Korean issue despite Kim Jong-un's silence.
