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, but stressed the need to lay the groundwork despite the long-term inevitability of membership. Yonhap reports Lee called CPTPP entry "unavoidable" in the long run, while the Korea Times notes he acknowledged farmers' and fishermen's concerns, vowing to prevent unfair damage. KBS World adds that Lee told farmers that pursuing membership in the Asia-Pacific trade bloc is "inevitable" in the long term.
