South Korea’s acting President says will not join hands with China, Japan to fight Trump tariffs
The Island
|April 11, 2025
South Korea's Acting President Han Duck-soo has said South Korea will not form a coalition with China and Japan to jointly respond to US tariff measures, but seeks to resolve related issues through negotiations with Washington.
-
Han made the remark in a CNN interview released on Tuesday, a day before the Trump administration’s 25 per cent “reciprocal tariff” for South Korea took effect — a measure that is feared to hit hard the Asian country’s export-driven economy.
“I don’t think that kind of fighting back will improve the situation dramatically,” Han was quoted as saying by the news channel when asked if Seoul would work together with Japan or China to fight the US tariffs.
“We will not take that route,” he added.
