Some speculate America's import restrictions and steep tariffs on foreign producers are

intentionally targeting South Korea.

That there may be a link between trade and national security

Cha Sang-mi sheds light on what Seoul's response to Washington's trade policies should be.

The United States' ever stronger trade protection policies are causing concern for its trading

partners,... and South Korea -- considered a strong ally of the U.S. -- is no exception.

The U.S. has been using a variety of tactics to restrict imports, from anti-dumping rules

to recent safeguard measures against Korean-made steel and washing machines.

And with the recent thaw in relations between the two Koreas, some say too much pressure

on trade may hurt mutual cooperation on security.

"Theoretically, the national security and trade issues should be separate, but the Trump

Administration's policies demonstrate that the national security issue impacts the trade

issue."

Another expert says trade and national security are two sides of the same coin, and that President

Trump may be trying to kill two birds with one stone by restricting imports from South

Korea.

"U.S. government or Mr. Trump are considering a solution all together - the North Korea's

nuclear threat problem and South Korea's trade continuous surplus against the United States

in a single shot."

The expert says the true intentions of the U.S. are revealed in the import restrictions

Washington continuously imposes on Seoul, taking into account the U.S. trade deficit

with South Korea is nowhere near the size of its deficits with Japan and China.

He says the U.S. could be trying to leverage its economic power to further its national

security goals.

Korea's former trade minister Bark Tae-ho points out that the United States' standards

for import restrictions are vague and subjective, and are against international trade rules.

"The Korean government is considering filing a complaint to the WTO regarding the United

States' unilateral trade penalties, and when we do so, we should cooperate with many other

countries who are affected by the U.S.' trade pressure."

Bark says the Trump Administration is using its trade pressure as leverage in the on-going

South Korea-U.S. free trade agreement renegotiations, but added that it's unlikely to have a huge

impact on the renegotiations to the 6-year-old trade deal.

No, 40% of guns aren't purchased without a background check - Duration: 0:45.

-Checks.

-We have to end the absurdity of the gun show loophole.

Forty percent of the guns in this country are sold

without any background checks.

-This number comes from a two-decade-old study

that looked at person-to-person sales, not all gun sales.

So let's fast forward. Between 2015 and 2017,

a national survey showed 13 percent of people

purchased a firearm,

which is about a third of Sanders' claim.

And 22 percent of everyone who obtained a firearm

didn't have a background check.

So, no matter how you look at it,

the notion that 40 percent of all gun sales

happen without a background check is just plain wrong.

We thought we killed this claim, but three fact-checks later,

it's come back to life.

Sanders receives four Pinocchios.

Speculation that Washington's trade protectionism policies specifically target S. Korea - Duration: 2:41.

Lincoln 📢 v. Washington!🍦Presidents Day Fashion Face-Off - Duration: 2:28.

Happy Presidents Day 2018 from all of us at The Hollywood Gossip, as we come together to honor

a couple of true American heroes.

The truest of heroes, really. The truest of the true.

And the Winner

is?

Abraham Lincoln Click Here To

Vote for Abe

George Washington Click Here To

Vote for G-Dubs

They were both A-plus chief executives, but which U.S. President do you love more, Abraham

Lincoln or George Washington? That's what we wanna know!

View Poll »

It's time we determined who among these United States legends is worthy of being called the

greatest of all time. OF ALL TIME!

In a Fashion Face-Off for the ages, that is!

Yes, we realize that styles popularized by Abraham Lincoln and George Washington haven't

been popular with the mainstream in ages.

Like, ages . Industrial Revolution style.

By the same token, when you're a titan of history, you never go out of style, are we

right?! If you got you a national monument, 'nuff said.

Take the first President of the U.S., George Washington. He led a rebellion over Great

Britain, then oversaw the birth of a new nation.

Four score and seven years later, Abraham Lincoln valiantly preserved and paved the

way for a more perfect union against long odds.

Overcoming similarly huge obstacles, redefining what was possible and then fighting to preserve

it, both patriots delivered for America.

In their respective eras and now, giants among men.

Ones who make all of our lives seem more than a tad mundane and pointless all of a sudden.

Kind of sad if you stop and think about it.

Anyway, comparing achievements and legacies by people in such rarefied air is impossible

... but we can at least pick a fashion winner.

Would you rather rock George's 18th Century Colonial garb or Abe's 19th Century Civil

War-era attire? Talk about the toughest of calls.

Make it. It's your duty as an American.
