South Korea's Lee Wants Trade Deal with US Before July Deadline
South Korea's President Lee Jae-myung hopes to clinch a trade agreement with the US ahead of a looming July deadline, according to his nominee for prime minister, after a high-stakes meeting with Donald Trump was called off at the last minute.
'I believe that President Trump would naturally expect a deal to be reached within the scheduled deadline, and my understanding is that President Lee Jae-myung would also like to see a good agreement reached within that time frame if possible,' Kim Min-seok told reporters in Seoul on Tuesday.
