The United States has extended its ban on Americans' travel to North Korea for another
year,... citing that it's too dangerous to go there.
The U.S. State Department says the warning will remain in place until August 31st next
year.
The State Department added that under U.S. law,... the Secretary of State can impose
geographic travel restrictions on Americans under any of three conditions.
Namely, if a country is at war with the U.S., there are armed hostilities in a country or
region, or "there is imminent danger to the public health or physical safety of U.S. travelers
in the country or area."

Trump ready to slap tariffs on US$200 billion of China imports: report - Duration: 1:42.
U.S. President Donald Trump is reportedly ready to impose tariffs on 200 billion dollars
more in Chinese imports as soon as a public comment period on the plan ends next week.
The potential move was reported by Bloomberg on Thursday.
For more on this and other news around the world we turn to our Ro Aram…
Aram… could we see this trade conflict escalate further?
Well Mark… it is hard to tell at the moment as the Bloomberg report notes that President
Trump's position is not final.
It also suggests that if any tariffs were to be imposed, they would be enacted in installments.
Any announcement on the matter is likely to come out late next week after the public-comment
period.
Companies and members of the public have until next Thursday to submit comments on the proposed
duties.
The report also said it's possible any tariffs imposed would take effect at a later date.
The White House is yet to comment on the report.
Markets have reacted badly to the news, with the S&P 500 hitting session lows and the U.S.
dollar, Chinese yuan and U.S. Treasury yields also falling.
If the U.S. goes ahead with slapping duties on 200 billion dollars-worth of Chinese goods,
it would be largest so far and could escalate what is already a tense trade war between
the world's two largest economies.
The new proposed 25 percent tariffs would also affect more products, including home
building supplies, bicycles and clothing.
The Trump administration has already applied tariffs to 50 billion dollars of Chinese goods,
with Beijing retaliating in kind.
Talks aimed at easing trade tensions ended last week without major breakthroughs.

U.S. to allow 'targeted relief' from steel, aluminum quotas - Duration: 2:04.
When the United States revealed its plans to slap tariffs and quotas on steel and aluminum
imports, South Korea quickly took steps, and became the first country to be granted an
exemption from tariffs.
And now, even some quotas are being lifted.
Kim Hyesung reports.
President Trump has signed proclamations allowing targeted relief from steel quotas for some
countries, including South Korea.
The U.S. Commerce Department said Wednesday, local time, that President Trump, who in March
put in place tariffs of 25 percent on steel and 10 percent on aluminum, signed proclamations
permitting relief from the quotas on steel for Korea and Brazil, and on both steel and
aluminum for Argentina.
The statement added that companies can apply for exclusions for products when there is
insufficient quantity or quality available from American producers,... and that if an
exclusion is granted then no tariff would be owed.
Korean steelmakers, represented by the vice chairman of the Korea Iron & Steel Asssociation,
Lee Min-cheol, welcomed the news, saying this means Korea, the third-largest steel exporter
to the U.S., can ship more than the quota Seoul and Washington had agreed upon.
In March, Korea was given a quota of about 2-point-6-8 million tons of steel, or 70 percent
of the annual average it shipped to the U.S. between 2015 and 2017, in exchange for an
exemption on steel tariffs.
The quota took effect in May.
"The Trump Administration likely made this move because U.S. steelmakers are slowly feeling
the pain of rising steel import costs.
So it's granted this 'targeted relief' to some of its allies... on steel products that
America cannot produce or otherwise really needs."
The announcement from the U.S. Commerce Deparment follows prolonged negotiations between Korean
government officials and local steelmakers and their U.S. counterparts about allowing
exemptions for some Korean steel products.
Which specific products, though, still has to be negotiated.

Denuclearization talks stall as North Korea goes strong on what U.S. can offer - Duration: 2:31.
It became clearer, that the main reason the trip to Pyongyang by America's top diplomat
was cancelled last minute... was a message from Pyongyang.
The gist of it was this: don't come unless you have something for us.
Lee Ji-won sheds light on the deal-breaker of a letter.
It appears U.S. President Donald Trump didn't have a choice but to call off his Secretary
of State's fourth visit to Pyongyang as Washington had "nothing to offer" the regime.
Citing an unnamed government official, Reuters reported Thursday that the tone of the secret
letter Kim Yong-chol, vice chairman of North Korea's Workers' Party's central committee,
sent to the U.S,... was that if Washington is not willing to give something, then Pompeo
shouldn't come.
The regime has been asking the U.S. to declare an end to the Korean War, while the Trump
administration has been pushing Pyongyang for a inventory of its nuclear and missile
programs and other military assets.
The senior official added that the North Koreans seem to be thinking the U.S. is not doing
enough,... which appears to back up a report by U.S.-based media outlet Vox, which said
President Trump promised North Korean leader Kim Jong-un a peace treaty sometime soon after
their summit in June.
But the Trump administration continues to insist denuclearization has to take place
before anything else.
Amid concerns over the stalemate, the U.S. remains firm on its restrictions on the regime.
A U.S. State Department official said the department has extended its ban on Americans
traveling to North Korea by another year,... until August 31st 2019.
The reason given for the ban is the concern over the threat of arrest.
U.S. law stipulates that travel restrictions on Americans may be imposed if "there is imminent
danger to the public health or physical safety of U.S. travelers in the country or area."
But it's known that "individuals who wish to travel to or within North Korea for extremely
limited purposes," and whose travel is in the U.S. national interest, can apply for
a "special validation" from the State Department.
There will also be exceptions if the trip is justified by "compelling humanitarian considerations."
The ban was imposed in September last year after the death of American student Otto Warmbier,
who was sentenced to 15 years of hard labor by the North after allegedly trying to steal
a propaganda sign.

We have profound disagreements with the US on trade policy
and on other policies.
We do not agree with their actions in WTO
and blocking of the appointment of the judges.
This we have raised several times.
And we are engaging with them to try to find a way out,
and also with many other countries in the WTO, to see,
is there a way to solve this?
We are not restarting TTIP.
We are not restarting TTIP.
That is for a lot of reasons, and you mentioned some of them,
not possible.
So TTIP is not there.
This is a more limited - possibly
could be a more limited trade agreement focused
on tariffs on goods only.
