SEOUL—Thousands of South Korean truckers went on strike for a third day on Thursday to protest the sharp surge in fuel costs, disrupting production, slowing activity at ports, and posing new risks to a strained global supply chain.
Presenting new President Yoon Suk-yeol with one of his first big economic challenges, about 7,200 members or roughly 30 percent of the Cargo Truckers Solidarity union were on strike, the country’s transport ministry said.
