President Yoon Suk Yeol held an economic security inspection meeting at the presidential office in Yongsan at 2 p.m. just a while ago.
The president's office explained that the meeting was held to closely watch the Trump administration's new policy changes and to come up with proactive and preemptive countermeasures.President
Yoon said in his remarks at the meeting that if the new administration in Washington is launched and the new policy stance is set, it will affect our economy and security, including the world, and that careful preparation is needed.
In preparation for this, it said it would immediately operate a conference body in three areas: finance, trade and industry, with the deputy prime minister for economy as the control tower.
I'll listen to it myself.
[Yoon Suk Yeol / President] The international market has already begun to react, not after the immediate launch of the conference and now the administration, but because there is now an expected policy stance. So please check the market and be prepared without gaps.]
After the meeting, Sung Tae-yoon, head of the policy office, said that President Yoon asked us to listen to our companies and reflect them in our policies to help the national interest when responding to changes in the international economic environment.
In particular, Sung noted the need for Korea's cooperation in the shipbuilding industry during the call between President Yoon and President-elect Trump, and explained that he plans to find various projects to cooperate with the United States.
Kim Tae-hyo, the first deputy director of the National Security Office, said, "There is a sense of problem that we need to identify and prepare for the direct and indirect effects of changes in the external environment on our security."
He stressed that there will be some crisis factors for each
issue, but we will prepare to use it as an opportunity to make it an opportunity factor.
In particular, the cooperation between South Korea, the U.S., and Japan has progressed further under the Biden administration, but the seeds were sown during the first Trump term in the past, and the momentum for cooperation between South Korea, the U.S., and Japan is expected to continue in the future.
