South Korea and the United States agreed on Thursday to pursue a trade deal that will help Seoul avoid U.S. tariffs before President Donald Trump’s 90-day pause on reciprocal tariffs ends in July.
South Korean Finance Minister Choi Sang-mok announced the deal after he and Industry Minister Ahn Duk-geun held talks with U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Trade Representative Jamieson Greer in Washington.
