Trump says no deal with S. Korea yet but foreign experts needed in U.S.
Hello and thanks for joining us on Arirang News. We begin with trade talks between South Korea and the United States. Presidents Lee Jae Myung and Donald Trump are scheduled to meet tomorrow,.. and eyes are now on whether the two sides will agree to lower U.S. tariffs on Korean goods. But it's unclear whether they will be able to reach a deal soon, as details of a 350-billion-U.S.-dollar investment package are still reportedly being negotiated. Our Kim Do-yeon starts us off.

On Monday aboard Air Force One during his ongoing Asia tour, U.S. President Donald Trump and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent were asked whether the trade deal with South Korea could fall apart. AP edit no. 4613467 "No, I don't think so, Scott has that." Bessent: "No, no, they're just a lot of details to work out. It's a very complicated deal. And I think we're very close." But when asked whether it could be done by Wednesday when President Lee Jae Myung and President Trump meet in Gyeongju he said that is not likely. "I think not quite. But I think the overall framework is done.

We're just getting crossing the t's, dotting the i's." Trump has been saying a deal is close for some time, and there was some hope that an agreement could be made to coincide with a meeting between President Lee and President Trump at APEC. Before departing for Asia a few days earlier, Trump had said, "If South Korea is ready, I am ready." However, a tug-of-war is still underway between the two sides regarding the methods and timeline for South Korea's 350 billion dollar investment in the U.S. Trump was also asked whether South Korea had asked to extend visa quotas as part of the trade deal, following the ICE raid in Hyundai's plant in Georgia in September.

"No. But, you know, I feel I was very much opposed. Look, when they come in and they're making very complex machinery, equipment, things, they're going to have to bring some people in, at least at the initial phase. In that case, it was batteries. You can't just pick people off an unemployment line and say, we're just, you know, opened up a $2 billion battery factory. They'll teach our people how to do it." The U.S. president added that such measures would take time, but that's the way it is. Kim Do-yeon, Arirang News.
