Trump Calls Iran's Response to Latest US Ceasefire Proposal 'Totally Unacceptable'

GYEONGJU, South Korea—U.S. President Donald Trump began the final leg of his Asia trip in South Korea on Wednesday, optimistic about striking a trade war truce with Chinese leader Xi Jinping and advancing an unresolved tariff deal with South Korea's Lee Jae Myung.

Arriving from Tokyo hours after North Korea test-fired a nuclear-capable cruise missile, Trump was treated to a lavish reception by President Lee on Wednesday in Gyeongju, a sleepy South Korean town hosting this year's Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum, before Thursday's talks with Xi.

Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One en route to South Korea, Trump dismissed the North Korea missile test and said he was squarely focused on his meeting with Xi.

"I think we're going to have a very good outcome for our country and for the world, actually," Trump said.

He expects to reduce U.S. tariffs on Chinese goods in exchange for Beijing's commitment to curb exports of fentanyl precursor chemicals, he added.
<h2>South Korea Trade Talks Struggle</h2>
Addressing a summit of APEC CEOs in Gyeongju before his meeting with Lee, Trump said a trade deal with South Korea would be finalized "very soon", though officials on both sides have been downplaying the prospect of a breakthrough this week.

The two allies announced a deal in late July under which South Korea would avoid the worst of the tariffs by agreeing to pump $350 billion of new investments into the United States. But talks over the structure of those investments have been deadlocked.

Meeting Lee at the nearby National Museum, Trump was presented with a gold crown and the "Grand Order of Mugunghwa", the country's highest decoration worn as an elaborate sash and medal. "I'd like to wear it right now," Trump quipped.

At the start of the working lunch, that included a "golden dessert," Lee pledged to spend more on defense—trying to head off a common bugbear of Trump's that allies are not pulling their weight.

He also requested the United States allow it to reprocess nuclear fuel to power submarines. Seoul is prohibited from doing so without U.S. consent under an agreement between the countries.

Trump pledged to help "straighten out" South Korea's problems with its nuclear armed northern neighbor. The two Koreas are still technically at war after their 1950–1953 war ended in an armistice, not a peace treaty.

Trump has made repeated calls for a meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un during this trip but said on Wednesday the timings would not work out.
<h2>Taiwan on the Agenda</h2>
Skipping the main APEC summit, Trump plans a dinner with Lee and bilateral meetings with several countries' leaders, including China's Xi, before he departs on Thursday.

Negotiators from the world's top two economies hashed out a framework on Sunday for a deal to pause steeper American tariffs and Chinese rare earths export controls, U.S. officials said. The news sent stocks soaring to record peaks.

Trump said he would speak to Xi about Nvidia's state-of-the-art Blackwell AI chips, with sales to China a key sticking point in trade talks.

Since taking office in January, Trump has vacillated on his position towards China-claimed Taiwan as he seeks to strike a trade deal with Beijing. Trump says Xi has told him he will not invade Taiwan while the Republican president is in office, but Trump has yet to approve any new U.S. arms sales to Taipei.

Taiwan Foreign Minister Lin Chia-lung said on Tuesday he was not worried that Trump would "abandon" the island in his meeting this week with Xi.

The Chinese communist regime said on Wednesday it "absolutely will not" rule out using force over Taiwan.

Trump told reporters on Wednesday that he did not know whether he would even discuss Taiwan with Xi.
<h2>Final Stop in Asia Trip</h2>
Trump's trip to South Korea concludes a whirlwind swing through the region, among the hardest hit by his tariff policies and increased U.S.–China competition.

In Malaysia, he announced a slew of trade agreements and oversaw the signing of an expanded truce between Thailand and Cambodia after a border conflict.

In Tokyo on Tuesday, Trump lavished praise on Japan's first female Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, welcoming her pledge to accelerate a military buildup and signing deals on trade and rare earths.

The U.S. and Japan also released a list of projects in which Japanese companies are eyeing U.S. investments, related to Tokyo's pledge earlier this year of $550 billion in strategic U.S. investments, loans and guarantees in exchange for a tariff reprieve.

Washington has pressed South Korea to make a similar arrangement, but Seoul says it cannot afford to pay the $350 billion it pledged upfront. Instead, South Korea has offered a mix of phased investments, loans and other measures.
