Concluding a visit to South Korea, Pence told business leaders in Seoul on Tuesday the administration is reviewing all trade agreements as part of its "America First'' policy. In Japan, Pence's two main goals are to spur increased the US access to Japanese markets and strengthen Japanese foreign investment. Both sides said they do not expect the talks in Tokyo this week to delve into sector-by-sector talks on trade.
