South Korea’s President Lee Trump investment financial crisis

South Korea’s economy could fall into crises rivaling its 1997 meltdown if the government accepts current U.S. demands in stalled trade talks without safeguards, President Lee Jae Myung told Reuters.
Seoul and Washington verbally agreed to a trade deal in July in which the U.S. would lower President Donald Trump’s tariffs on South Korean goods in exchange for $350 billion in investment from South Korea, among other measures.
They have yet to put the agreement on paper because of disputes over how the investments would be handled, Lee said.
