The Presidential Office has dismissed claims that the issue of returning wartime operational control could be used as a bargaining chip in tariff negotiations with the United States.
National Security Office Director Wi Sung-lac said that no unit has initiated relevant discussions, and added that it is not a negotiation card, nor should it be used as one.
He further explained that the return of wartime operational control is a long-term issue between South Korea and the United States, and emphasized that this government is not at a stage where new discussions are taking place.
