In response to the US Supreme Court's ruling striking down President Donald Trump's reciprocal tariffs, Cheong Wa Dae will hold a policy coordination meeting with the ruling party and government officials. The meeting, led by presidential chief of staff for policy Kim Yong-beom and National Security Adviser Wi Sung-lac, will include key ministers and the Democratic Party floor leader. The Trump administration imposed a 10 percent global tariff hours after the ruling and raised it to 15 percent the next day.
