South Korea is said to be considering increasing its energy imports from the United States if Donald Trump wins the election.

Officials in Seoul are getting ready for potential trade pressures that could arise under a Trump administration, which they believe may pose greater risks to the country's trade-dependent economy.

Discussions among South Korean officials have been ongoing for several months, focusing on strategies to mitigate the impact of a Trump presidency or a potential Kamala Harris administration.

The private talks indicate a proactive approach to navigating the uncertain trade landscape that could follow the election.
