Most Popular Trump says he'll meet with Chinese Vice Premier Liu He at White House on Friday U.S. President Donald Trump says he'll meet Chinese Vice Premier Liu He at the White House on Friday, a signal the two sides could finally reach a truce in their trade war. Taking to Twitter on Thursday, Trump said China wants to make a deal. His latest comments come as the Chinese Vice Premier began a round of face-to-face negotiations with U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin. Watchers say a breakthrough this week could potentially lead to a summit between Presidents Trump and Xi. 2019-10-11 S. Korea, Japan to hold talks at WTO on Friday over Tokyo's export restrictions Trade officials from Seoul and Tokyo are meeting at the World Trade Organization in Geneva on Friday local time to discuss Japan's export restrictions on South Korea. Bilateral talks at the WTO are usually carried out at the working-level, but given the importance of the matter, Seoul requested higher-level talks. As a result, South Korean trade ministry's Director General for Trade Legal Affairs, Chung Hae-kwan is set to sit down with his Japanese counterpart Junichiro Kuroda. "We are going to clearly point out how Japan's actions violate WTO agreements and what we think is the problem. Based on that, we are trying to find an agreeable solution that can satisfy both sides." The official added that he plans to seek an early resolution with his Japanese counterpart. If, however, the talks do not go well, Seoul is expected to send a formal request to set up a dispute settlement body at the WTO to make a ruling on the matter. In July, Tokyo imposed export restrictions on South Korea on three high-tech materials, which are crucial for the production of semiconductors and displays. The South Korean government has been stressing that Japan's export curbs violate WTO rules and the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade. Kan Hyeong-woo, Arirang News. 2019-10-11 S. Korean PM to attend enthronement of Japanese emperor on Oct. 22 South Korea's prime minister plans to visit Japan next week in what would be the highest-level trip since Japan imposed export curbs in a deepening trade and diplomatic row. According to the Prime Minister's office on Sunday, Lee will be making a trip to Japan from October 22nd through the 24th to attend the enthronement ceremony of Japanese Emperor Naruhito. Government sources said they expect Lee to take part in a banquet hosted by Prime Minister Shinzo Abe on Thursday, and hold separate talks with him, which would mark the highest-level dialogue since tension flared up last year over the issue of Japan's wartime use of South Korean forced labor, Prime Minister Lee is also likely to bring Abe a message from President Moon Jae-in. 2019-10-14 U.S. should view talks as way to resolve insecurity between nuclear powers: Choson Sinbo A North Korean newspaper on Saturday said that Pyeongyang's latest missile test has become a new nuclear deterrent against the United States. Choson Sinbo said the North's successful test of what it claimed was a "new-type SLBM Pukguksong-3" provides the regime with another nuclear deterrent. The newspaper claimed that as a result of the North's successful test, the U.S. needs to treat its talks with Pyeongyang as a process of resolving security instability between nuclear powers rather than expecting the regime to denuclearize first and then receive compensation. Following the North's SLBM test, the U.S. flew an E-8C surveillance aircraft over areas near the Korean Peninsula for the first time since 2018 on an apparent mission to collect intelligence regarding North Korea. 2019-10-13
