South Korea to reopen WTO complaint over Japan trade curbs


SEOUL (AP):Reigniting a bitter row between key US allies, South Korea on Tuesday (June 2) said it will reopen a complaint filed with the World Trade Organisation over Japan’s tightened controls on technology exports to its companies, blaming Tokyo for an alleged lack of commitment in resolving mutual grievances.

South Korea had halted its WTO action in November when it decided to keep a military intelligence-sharing agreement with Japan it previously threatened to end over conflicts stemming from wartime history and trade, after months of pressure by the Trump administration.
