Will Bain: 我认为韩国总统选举后的经济挑战，特别是与特朗普政府的贸易问题，将是本次节目的重点。我们将关注新领导人如何应对这些挑战，以及美欧之间的贸易谈判进展。 Johan Ku: 我认为韩国国内消费和商业信心目前处于低谷，同时面临与特朗普总统的贸易逆风。新政府需要将应对这些挑战作为首要任务，以重振经济。 David Kan: 我认为经济是选民最关心的问题，两位候选人都强调经济增长是优先政策。韩国的地理位置特殊，需要在中美之间保持平衡，同时还要限制朝鲜与俄罗斯的联盟。新总统需要在这方面做出明智的决策。 Dongjun Kang: 作为一名企业主，我希望下届政府能够努力让资金流动起来，我们需要利润。虽然帮助所有人的政策很好，但作为企业主，我们需要盈利才能生存和发展。

Polls have closed in South Korea’s presidential election, where people have been voting to elect a new leader, six months after the former president tried to bring the country under military rule. We look at the economy, the US trade negotiations and speak to local business owner.

Also, the world economy is slowing - and the OECD says Donald Trump’s trade tariffs are a big reason why.

Meanwhile, the US has set a Wednesday deadline for trade partners to put forward what they're calling "a best offer" on trade terms to avoid future tariffs. What is the response from the EU? We hear from the EU Spokesperson on trade talks.

And the UK government is threatening legal action against Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich, over the 3.3 billion dollars raised from the sale of Premier League soccer club Chelsea. What will happen next?
