That sounds more like diplomacy speak for “These tariffs are a giant insult but since we had good relationships with the US in the past we will not immediately react in the way we obviously should but will make a token effort to negotiate with the madman in charge there now”.
The current South Korean government after the failed coup is caught between a rock and a hard place - first because they need to keep the followers of their domnestic mad man out, the fat mad man in the north out, the Winnie the Pooh lookalike madman out and the orange mad men out.
All combined with a challenging internal and external political climate even without all these factors and you have a job none really wants.
So I can absolutely understand for them to defuse and hoping to weather the storm out and see how things develop - even more so,since the Japanese tried to have trade talks and found out the hard way that the current US administration has no idea what they want.

That and waiting for DJT to kick the bucket and discuss with some that is less a waste of time.
I’m not sure there’s anyone in his Cabinet or anywhere in the GQP that isn’t a waste of time and space.
I don’t think so either, but as a respite no one else has the sway over the cult he does. DiSantis for example.
It’s very that. So much so that the person who wrote the headline obviously knew exactly what they were doing.
