S. Korea's prime minister calls tariff deal with U.S. "meaningful outcome"

Prime Minister Kim Min-seok says last week's tariff deal with the U.S. was a "meaningful outcome" considering the challenges faced.

Presiding over a Cabinet meeting earlier on this Tuesday in place of President Lee Jae Myung who is currently on holiday Kim thanked the country's ministers for protecting what he called "key interests" for the agriculture and livestock industries.

His remarks reaffirm the government's stance that no concessions were made with regard to Korea's rice and beef markets during tariff talks with the U.S.
