Long delayed SKorea-US trade deal to take effect
None
South Korea is implementing its long-stalled free trade deal with the United States about five years after the two countries struck the accord aimed at slashing tariffs and other trade barriers.
The deal, which triggered heated debate in both countries, faces lingering resistance in South Korea with the main liberal opposition party pledging to seek a renegotiation if it wins December's presidential election. Activists also say they will continue to rally for the deal's nullification. The pact comes into force at midnight Wednesday. (AP)
