Future of US-South Korea trade accord hangs in balance

Washington

PRESIDENT Donald Trump said he would discuss the future of the US-South Korea free-trade agreement with his advisers following a newspaper report that he's considering terminating the pact.

"I am," Mr Trump said in response to a question about whether he's discussing the issue with advisers. "It's very much on my mind," the president said during a visit to Houston on Saturday to view the damage from Hurricane Harvey.
