  "summary": "US President Trump is increasing pressure on South Korea regarding an investment project for an Alaska liquefied natural gas (LNG) deal. According to CNBC and CNBC World, Seoul remains cautious about the project. Trump reportedly told South Korea that if they do not sign on to the deal, he will charge them more.\n\nThe Alaska LNG project was announced by Trump, but details of the project are limited in the reports.\n\nA separate issue is affecting South Korea's financial sector, with several institutions recently reporting cyberattacks that exposed personal information of tens of thousands of customers, according to Investing.com. The Financial Services Commission has ordered security inspections and is assessing vulnerabilities.",
