More comments from the South Korean presidential office

Currently touching on trade and US tariffs. It is said that during the North Korean discussions here, national security director Chung Eui-yong asked for a waiver on steel tariffs and that there was a "positive" reaction by US officials on the matter.

Nothing more on that at the moment. But if a waiver or exemption would be given here, question is where does it stop? And on what basis would the so-called exemptions be based upon?

That will certainly draw the ire of those nations who are not able to get them.
