Ask what Korea is talking about.

President Lee Jae Myung said Monday that South Korea is unlikely to join the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) during his term, though he called membership 'inevitable' in the long run. Speaking at a meeting with farmers and fishermen at Cheong Wa Dae, Lee noted that applying for membership does not guarantee approval and that even starting now, a deal would 'almost certainly not' be reached within his term, adding 'I won't seek reelection, so don't worry.' He acknowledged farmers' concerns and vowed to prevent unfair damage to agriculture, fisheries, forestry, and livestock sectors.
