President Lee Jae-myung has expressed uncertainty regarding the completion of ongoing tariff negotiations between South Korea and the United States by the anticipated deadline of July 8th. In a recent press conference marking his 30th day in office, President Lee acknowledged the complexities of the negotiations. "It is difficult to even guarantee whether they can be concluded by July 8th," stated President Lee, according to Hankook Ilbo. He emphasized the need for a mutually beneficial outcome, highlighting that "the exact needs of both sides have not yet been clearly defined." The statement suggests potential roadblocks in reaching an agreement within the initial timeframe. Both countries are reportedly working diligently to navigate the intricate details and secure favorable terms. Any potential delays could impact trade relations and economic cooperation between Korea and the US. Further developments are awaited as both sides continue discussions. ```
