They stated at the press conference, "The Lee Jae-myung government must firmly resist the pressure from the Trump administration to open up imports of agricultural and livestock products." They continued, "Although our country is the fifth-largest importer of U.S. agricultural and livestock products, with a trade deficit in agricultural products with the U.S. reaching 8.8 billion dollars, the Trump administration is demanding additional openings such as imports of U.S. apples, rice, and beef from cattle over 30 months of age. We are concerned that the Lee Jae-myung government seems to be ready to accept this."
