정부, 오늘 일본 백색국가 제외 ‘맞대응’ 착수

Let's start with our ongoing coverage of the Seoul-Tokyo trade row.
It's a tit-for-tat or an eye for an eye.
South Korea has decided to pursue corresponding measures against Japan's export restrictions.
It's considering whether to remove Japan from ITS own "whitelist" of 28 nations receiving expedited export reviews.
The trade ministry laid out measures on Wednesday to exclude Japan from the list,... which will be announced TODAY following a related ministers' meeting.
If (as expected) it's given the green light,... Seoul will start to impose tougher export reviews for Japan in the area of strategic items... which will take effect early next month.
