TAG: Correspondent Jeremy House reporting. Japan and South Korea’s trade dispute began in July 2019 when Japan removed South Korea from its “white list” of countries given fast-track approvals in trade. At that time, Tokyo-Seoul ties were deteriorating over compensation for Japanese wartime actions.

VERBATIM: The decision virtually ends a four-year economic row that was strained during their bitter historic disputes. Japan and South Korea have been rapidly mending their ties as they deepen three-way security cooperation with Washington. The cooperation comes in response to growing regional threats from North Korea and China.
