THE PRESIDENT:  Yeah.  There is ongoing tension between Japan and Korea.  In fact, the President of Korea asked me if I could get involved.  I said, “How many things do I have to get involved in?”  I’m involved with North Korea — on helping.  You know, I’m involved in so many different things.  We just did a trade deal — a great trade deal — with South Korea.  But he tells me that they have a lot of friction going on now with respect to trade — primarily with respect to trade.

And Japan has some things that South Korea wants, and he asked me to get involved.  So maybe if they would both want me to, I’ll be.  It’s like I’m — it’s like a full-time job getting involved between Japan and South Korea.

But I like both leaders.  I like President Moon.  And you know how I feel about Prime Minister Abe.  He’s a very special guy, also.

So if they need me, I’m there.  Hopefully they can work it out.  But they do have tension, there’s no question about it.  Trade tension
