🇰🇷🇺🇸 South Korea trade minister may seek extension to tariff freeze in US talks South Korea's Trade Minister Yeo Han-koo said on Friday that he might request an extension of the freeze on US tariffs that is set to expire within days when he heads to Washington for talks with US officials. Yeo, who became South Korea's new trade envoy last month, is due to fly to the US on Friday and plans to hold talks with US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer and other senior officials on Saturday, just ahead of the July 9 deadline when US tariffs could rise sharply. Yeo said the substance of negotiations mattered more than the deadline, noting he would ask the US to take time and accelerate talks to reach a "win-win" deal. #SouthKorea#USA @asianomics
