[Financial News]  Former President Lee Myung-bak expressed his support after meeting with Kim Moon-soo, People Power Party presidential candidate, on the 27th, and regarding Lee Jae-myung, Democratic Party presidential candidate, he said, "Even if candidate Lee Jae-myung claims to be centrist and pro-American, the US knows better than anyone what kind of person Lee Jae-myung is," adding, "No matter what he says on the surface, communication won't be smooth."
Former President Lee told candidate Kim, "We are different from China. We have the advantage of being a country that has signed an FTA with the US," emphasizing, "If candidate Kim persuades well, it will be more effective than Lee Jae-myung going to the US," as reported by Shin Dong-wook, the party's chief spokesperson.
