Egg-Chucking Korean Farmers Demand End to Deal With U.S.

South Korean farmers interrupted a public hearing in Seoul on revising the nation’s trade deal with the U.S., standing on desks, throwing eggs at officials and demanding the agreement be scrapped.

The five-year old deal is a target of President Donald Trump, who blames it for increasing the U.S. trade deficit with Korea. Korea agreed last month to U.S. demands to renegotiate it, and that provided an opportunity for farmers and other groups of Koreans who originally opposed it to demand changes as well.
