Seoul-Tokyo Energy Push: Japan and South Korea agreed to deepen energy cooperation, including stronger stockpiles and supply-chain coordination, as Middle East tensions keep pressure on oil routes and critical minerals. G7 Pressure on Trade Imbalances: In Paris, G7 finance chiefs called the current global trade imbalance “unsustainable,” urged reopening the Strait of Hormuz, and promised coordinated action—though concrete steps stayed thin. Samsung Strike Risk: A looming Samsung semiconductor labor dispute over bonuses remains a live threat to production and broader supply chains, with government mediation and court moves trying to prevent a shutdown. Alliance Hardware: The US approved a $4.2 billion helicopter package for South Korea, aimed at boosting deterrence amid North Korea’s heightened posture. OFW Support: A governor extended assistance to the family of a deceased Filipino worker in South Korea and aid to OFWs displaced by the conflict. Tech & Security: South Korea is also moving to strengthen cyber deterrence capabilities as regional risk rises.
