SEOUL (Reuters) - South Korea plans to take steps to drop Japan from white list countries with fast-track export status, South Korea's finance minister said on Friday.
The move came in response to Japan's earlier decision to remove South Korea's fast-track export status, further straining relations already stressed by a dispute over compensation for wartime forced laborers.
South Korean Finance Minister Hong Nam-ki said Japan's measure will have an impact on 159 items, adding that Seoul would provide support to firms that produce those items.
