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. At a gathering, Lee acknowledged farmers' and fishermen's concerns over potential entry, vowing to prevent unfair damage, according to Korea Times and KBS World. He framed pursuing membership as 'inevitable' in the long run, though not within his tenure.
