SEOUL (Reuters) - South Korea is adopting a "wait and see" stance, government officials said on Friday, after U.S. President Donald Trump told Reuters he would "renegotiate or terminate" a free trade pact between the two countries.
The won turned lower against the dollar soon after Trump's comments, trading down 0.2 percent at 1,132.5 to the dollar. South Korea's benchmark share index fell, wiping out earlier gains, to stand down 0.03 percent at 2,208.73 points by 0207 GMT.
