South Korea vows to 'protect' firms' interests after new Trump tariffs

On Tuesday, South Korea's acting president vowed to "protect" firms' interests, after U.S. President Donald Trump signed off on 25 percent tariffs on steel and aluminium imports.

"The government is committed to protecting the interests of our companies and reducing uncertainties by building a close relationship with the Trump administration and expanding diplomatic options," said acting President Choi Sang-mok.
