South Korea will restrict car use by public employees and extend government-set caps on fuel prices as it tries to weather the shock of the war in Iran that has exposed the vulnerabilities of an economy highly dependent on trade and imported energy.
In announcing the measures at a Cabinet meeting Tuesday, President Lee Jae Myung called for national unity to overcome the war’s growing strain, which he compared to challenges the country faced during the COVID-19 pandemic and past financial crises. - AP
