President Lee Jae-myung and Trump have both faced attempts on their lives; Lee even had to undergo surgery after being stabbed in the neck
US President Donald Trump and South Korea’s new president, Lee Jae-myung, agreed to work toward a swift tariff deal in their first phone call since Lee was elected this week, Lee’s office said on Friday.
Trump has imposed tariffs on South Korea, a long-time ally with which it has a bilateral free trade deal, and pressed it to pay more for the 28,500 US troops stationed there.
Separately, Trump allies have aired concerns about Lee’s more conciliatory stance towards China, Washington’s main geopolitical rival.
