Foreign media reported today (September 22): "South Korean President Lee Jae-myung said that if the South Korean government accepts the current U.S. demands in trade negotiations without safeguards, the South Korean economy may fall into a crisis similar to the 1997 financial crisis."
[Witty] Comment: Lee Jae-myung's "economic crisis warning" seems like a child holding a toy water gun shouting "Don't come closer" in front of Trump's "negotiation nuclear weapon." Trump's strategy has always been only "the U.S. eats meat, allies drink soup," and he would never care whether the South Korean economy would face a repeat of the 1997 crisis. South Korea has already had its necks squeezed by the U.S. in areas such as semiconductors and automobiles; now it wants to bargain in trade negotiations? Instead of worrying about the crisis, Lee Jae-myung should first prepare lifebuoys — after all, in Trump's "America First" deep waters, South Korea's small economic boat could be capsized at any moment.
