South Korea's foreign minister said that US President Donald Trump appears to be pressuring Seoul over Iran policy and investment. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Reuters.
According to the minister, the Trump administration is demanding that South Korea reconsider its ties with Iran and increase investment in the United States. This pressure could affect trade and diplomatic relations between the two countries.
Reuters reported that the minister held meetings with US officials to discuss these issues and tried to understand each side's positions. He also emphasized that South Korea seeks to protect its interests while maintaining alliance relations with the US.
This situation could lead to a reduction in South Korea's economic ties with Iran and an increase in investment flows to the US. Experts suggest that Trump's pressure may affect geopolitical stability on the Korean Peninsula.
According to a Reuters source, the minister's statement reflects changes in US global policy. South Korea has not yet given an official response, but diplomatic negotiations are ongoing.
This event is drawing international attention, as the Iran issue could impact the global economy. South Korea's position in this situation will be important for regional stability.
