SEOUL (Reuters) - South Korea's acting President Han Duck-soo said on Monday he expected trade talks with the United States this week in Washington to be the start of meaningful cooperation, but added that negotiations may not be easy.

Seoul’s customs agency found millions of US dollars worth of Chinese exports were disguised to dodge Trump’s hefty duties.

South Korea has discovered a major problem—foreign products, mainly from China, are being falsely labeled as “Made in Korea” so they can be shipped to the United States without paying high taxes, known as tariffs.
