The U.S. State Department have said that they will be looking into whether South Korea's

plans to open a joint liaison office in North Korea would be a violation of UN sanctions.

At a State Department press briefing on Thursday, when asked about concerns over Seoul supplying

oil and electricity for the office, spokesperson Heather Nauert said that Washington were aware

of talks between the two Koreas and would be looked into further.

She highlighted comments made by President Moon where he said improvement of inter-Korean

relations cannot advance separately from resolving North Korea's nuclear program.

South Korea's foreign ministry on Thursday said they would be moving ahead with the liaison

office, saying it will provide no economic gain to the regime, and that they are in close

consultation with the U.S. to not undermine sanctions.

U.S. tariffs on US$ 16 billion worth of Chinese imports takes effect on Aug.23rd - Duration: 2:11.

Here's the latest on the trade war between the world's two economic superpowers.

U.S. tariffs on 16-billion U.S. dollars' worth of Chinese imports took effect on Thursday.

Wasting no time,...

Beijing immediately responded with its own duties on the same amount of American imports.

Ko Roon-hee reports.

On Thursday, the United States started charging 25-percent tariffs on Chinese goods worth

another 16-billion dollars... even as the two sides held high-level trade talks.

Among the 279 items that'll be affected are key products like semiconductors, chemicals

and plastics.

Combined with the tarrifs imposed last month, the U.S. now has duties on China worth 50

billion dollars.

The two sides seem far from a resolution... because China retaliated with tariffs of its

own on Thursday, also worth 16 billion dollars.

China's tariffs will apply to 333 products,… including coal, fuel, steel and automobiles.

The Commerce Ministry in Beijing released a statement saying Washington was being obstinate

by charging the new tariffs… and that China will continue to take necessary countermeasures.

The ministry also said it will file a complaint against the U.S. with the World Trade Organization,…

in its words, to protect free trade and multilateral systems.

In the long term, China expressed its willingness to work things out.

Its foreign ministry said it hopes for good results in the future.

"We hope that the U.S. side can meet China halfway, with a rational and pragmatic attitude,

and work with China conscientiously toward a good result."

This escalation in the trade war comes despite a high-level delegation from China visiting

Washington for trade talks on Wednesday.

Although many expressed hope that the meeting would relieve the rising tensions,...

U.S. President Donald Trump had told Reuters on Monday that he didn't expect much.

China-U.S. trade talks end with no breakthrough - Duration: 0:48.

Over in Washington, a rather unproductive rond of trade talks between the U.S. and China

ended on Thursday.

According to White House deputy press secretary Lindsay Walters the two sides "exchanged views

on how to achieve fairness, balance and reciprocity in the economic relationship"... but gave

no indication that any serious progress has been made.

Beijing's commerce ministry's statement on Friday reads... the two sides had a "constructive

and candid exchange over trade issues... and will keep in touch on the next steps."

Citing Chinese officials, Bloomberg reported,... there are no more negotiation sessions scheduled

before the America's mid-term elections in November.

Even as the officials met, Washington slapped another round of 25-percent tariffs on Chinese

imports worth 16-billion U.S. dollars, with Beijing retaliating through similar measures.

U.S. Attorney General hits back at Trump's criticism of his leadership - Duration: 0:50.

U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions has issued a rare rebuttal of President Trump's scathing

assessment of him.

Trump told a Fox News interview, which aired on Wednesday, that Sessions "never took control

of the Justice Department."

The president went on to say that he only gave Sessions the job because he felt loyalty

and because he was an original supporter.

Trump has frequently attacked Sessions, mostly due to the attorney general's decision to

step aside from the DOJ's probe into Russian interference in the 2016 election to avoid

a potential conflict of interest.

Sessions hit back in a statement on Thursday saying the Justice Department will not be

improperly influenced by political considerations.

He added that he demands the highest standards and takes action when they are not met.
