[Lee Jae-myung talks about US tariffs: If an agreement is reached as the US demands, I may be impeached] The US "Time" magazine published an exclusive interview with South Korean President Lee Jae-myung on the 18th local time. During the interview, Lee Jae-myung talked about many topics, including his relationship with US President Trump and the land ownership issue of the US military bases in South Korea mentioned by Trump. When talking about tariff negotiations with the United States, Lee Jae-myung said, "If an agreement is reached (as the US demands), I may be impeached." Previously, Trump announced that the tariff on South Korean products would be reduced from the original 25% to 15%, on par with major trading partners such as Japan and the European Union, in exchange for South Korea's investment of 350 billion US dollars in the United States. Lee Jae-myung refused this.
