DeSantis talks trade with South Korean officials

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has held trade talks with South Korean officials in Seoul, on the second leg of his four-nation trip, as the possible rival to Donald Trump seeks to build his diplomatic profile ahead of a widely anticipated presidential campaign launch. Leading a trade mission from Florida, DeSantis on Wednesday met with South Korean Prime Minister Han Duck-soo and expressed hopes to create more jobs by facilitating South Korean investment in his state, according to Han’s office. Han, Seoul’s No. 2 official behind President Yoon Suk Yeol, called for stronger cooperation in industries such as space and aviation, which he described as Florida’s “strengths.”
