South Korea's chief trade envoy plans US visit June 22-27
Jun 20, 2025 7:36 PM

SEOUL (Reuters) -South Korea's trade minister Yeo Han-koo will visit the United States from June 22 to 27, the trade ministry said on Saturday.

The visit will include discussions with U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer and the third round of bilateral technical discussions, a ministry official told Reuters. Further details about the meetings were not disclosed.

South Korea, which is currently facing a 10% blanket tariff and a 25% country-specific duty temporarily paused for 90 days, agreed with the U.S. during initial trade negotiations in late April to craft a trade deal reducing tariffs by July 8.

Asia's fourth-largest economy unexpectedly contracted in the first quarter amid U.S. President Donald Trump's sweeping tariffs and domestic political unrest following former President Yoon Suk Yeol's martial law decree in December.
