TOKYO/SEOUL - South Korea fired back at Japan over a deepening trade dispute on Friday, pledging it would not be “defeated again” by its neighbor, laying bare decades-old animosity at the root of a row over fast-track export status.
“We won’t be defeated by Japan again,” Moon told his cabinet, pointedly invoking South Korea’s difficult history with Japan, which colonized the Korean peninsula before World War Two.

U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo expressed “great concern” that Tokyo pursued the move despite efforts to encourage a diplomatic solution, South Korean Foreign Minister Kang Kyung-wha said after a three-way meeting with him and her Japanese counterpart, Taro Kono.
