  1. SS: South Korea has found increasing attempts to disguise foreign products, mostly from China, as Korean exports to avoid US President Donald Trump’s sweeping tariffs, said its customs agency on April 21.

    South Korean officials have said there could be a rise in attempts by foreign companies, such as those in neighbouring China, to use South Korea – which is a major US ally and has a free-trade pact – as a bypass to avoid tariffs and regulations.

    This was also discovered during Trump’s first term.
