The U.S. has struck a “Full and Complete Trade Deal” with South Korea, President Donald Trump said in a Wednesday Truth Social post.

If finalized, the U.S. would charge a 15% tariff on imports from South Korea, per Trump. U.S. goods imported to Korea, meanwhile, would not be subject to any tariffs.

Earlier this month, Trump shared a letter on X stating imports from South Korea would face a 25% tariff starting Aug. 1, when his previously announced country-specific reciprocal tariffs are slated to return.

As of 6:00 p.m., some 33.8 million voters had cast a ballot, reaching a record-breaking 76.1% of South Korea’s 44.4 million eligible voters, according to the National Election Commission. The figure was the highest during the same period since South Korea began holding direct elections in 1987.

Most polls have shown liberal Democratic Party candidate Lee Jae-myung holding a commanding lead over the conservative People Power Party’s Kim Moon-soo, with a Gallup Korea survey last week giving Lee an edge of 49% to 35%.

The post ‘It starts now’: South Korea’s President Yoon defiant as police closed in first appeared on Garner Ted Armstrong Evangelistic Association.

Yoon Suk Yeol’s drastic decision – announced in a late-night TV broadcast – mentioned “anti-state forces” and the threat from North Korea.

But it soon became clear that it had not been spurred by external threats but by his own desperate political troubles.

Still, it prompted thousands of people to gather at parliament in protest, while opposition lawmakers rushed there to push through an emergency vote to remove the measure.
