Seoul Economic Daily

Seoul Economic Daily (서울경제신문) is South Korea's first economic newspaper, founded in 1960 and still controlled by the founding Jang family. Its editorial focus is business, finance, markets, and economic policy, placing it broadly in the pro-business, center-right tradition of South Korean economic journalism. Coverage of the Trump administration is driven by South Korean national economic interests — the paper reports factually on tariff actions and trade disputes, and has run investigative pieces on Trump's personal financial conflicts of interest in Korea-related trade matters.
