South Korea Seeks to Resolve Trade Barriers with the U.S., Prioritizing Diplomatic Solutions

Acting President Han Duck-soo of South Korea has announced plans to address trade barriers with the United States, seeking a mutually beneficial solution amidst recent tariffs imposed by the Trump administration. This move follows reciprocal tariffs introduced by the U.S., which aim to address perceived imbalances in trade relations. The initiative emphasizes non-confrontational measures, with President Han emphasizing diplomatic remedies over retaliatory actions. Key figures like Minister Ahn Duk-geun and Minister Cheong In-kyo are actively engaged in Washington for further negotiations on these barriers.
