Lee Urges Thorough Prep After US Midterms

President Lee Jae Myung has instructed officials to prepare thoroughly for changes in the external environment following last week's U.S. midterm elections, to minimize their impact on the domestic economy, KBS World reports. He also said Korea will continue to closely cooperate with the U.S. administration while seeking to expand bipartisan support in Congress, according to the Korea Times. Experts say the chances of another Trump-Kim summit could increase, as Pyongyang may view Trump as weaker after the Democratic sweep, Yonhap and the Korea Times report. Korean stocks tumbled after the results, with gold drawing renewed interest as investors feared a Democratic Congress could decelerate data center build-outs, the Korea Times reports.
