US President Donald Trump has called for reworking the South Korea-US Free Trade Agreement, describing the pact as a "horrible deal". The two countries signed the initial agreement back in 2012, despite fierce opposition in South Korea. Now, any effort to renegotiate the deal is again expected to meet strong opposition in Seoul where there are already calls for resisting Washington’s demand.
