WASHINGTON—U.S. President Donald Trump welcomed South Korea’s newly elected president, Lee Jae Myung, to the White House on Aug. 25 to discuss trade, investment, and defense collaboration. Ahead of the meeting, Trump commented on Seoul’s push to renegotiate a recently finalized trade deal.

“I hear they want to renegotiate the deal, but that’s OK. I don’t mind that,” Trump said in the Oval Office, sitting alongside Lee. “That doesn’t mean they’re going to get anything, but I don’t mind.”
