President Moon Asks Japan to Withdraw Economic Retaliation in Return for “Sincere Consultations”
You have to love the irony of President Moon asking for “sincere consultations” with Japan when his administration withdrew from the prior comfort women agreement and have been using the courts to further attack Japan for domestic political purposes:
President Moon Jae-in called on Japan on Monday to withdraw its recent export control against South Korean firms, describing it as an attempt to limit trade for a political purpose.
Breaking his strategic reticence on the sensitive issue, Moon said his administration will first make “calm” efforts to resolve it diplomatically.
In case of “actual damages” to South Korean companies, however, the government will be left with no other choice but to take “necessary” measures, he stressed, presiding over a meeting with senior Cheong Wa Dae officials.
He added he hopes to avoid such a vicious cycle of tit for tat.
“(I) call on the Japanese side to retract the measure and call for sincere consultations between the two countries,” he said.

You can read more at the link, but I don’t see the Abe administration bending on this until the Moon administration agrees to uphold the 1965 treaty that normalized relations between the two countries.
Japan needs to tell Korea, very undiplomaticly, to F off. All was settled with the agreement and every time the leftist seize power in Korea they want to dredge up the issues for domestic political points. Japan should put more sanctions and restrictions in place in response to this and until the commie moon finally recognizes that the agreement in the 60’s settled everything and it is time to move on. Commie moon is not only a communist but apparently not that bright either.
Nothing is ever sincere from Commie Moon except his love for Fatty III. Abe is right to turn the screws on Korea and teach these leftists a painful lesson.
I love that the Japanese are pushing back against Korean abrogation of the 1965 treaty and the comfort women agreement. There is not much point in negotiating with the Koreans if they do not honor their agreed obligations. Breaking treaties and not honoring their promises is yet another aspect of Moon’s emulation of North Korea.
