On today’s show, President Donald Trump has threatened to hike tariffs on goods imported from South Korea to 25%, citing what he said was the failure of the country’s legislature to codify the trade deal the two nations reached last year.
India and the European Union have agreed on a free trade agreement, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said, capping nearly two decades of negotiations at a time of strained ties with Washington.
