00:00South Korean Foreign Minister Cho Hyun said Trump appeared to be pressuring Seoul over unresolved
00:04issues including planned US investments. One possible source of tension is South Korea's
00:10pledge to invest $350 billion in the United States under a trade agreement reached last year.
00:16The two countries first reached an agreement in principle in July 2025 before finalising its
00:22term during a summit between Trump and South Korean President Lee Jae-myung in Gyeongju on
00:27October 29. Under the agreement, Washington reduced tariffs on South Korean cars and auto parts from
00:3325 to 15%. Seoul has yet to announce the specific projects, which Cho saying South Korea still needs
00:40to assess their commercial viability and complete the required legal procedures. He also cited other
00:46unexpected issues affecting the process but did not provide further details.
