President Lee Jae-Myung will travel to Washington to meet US President Donald Trump, Lee’s office said, for talks on trade and defence cooperation in the face of nuclear-armed North Korea and other threats.
Their Aug 25 summit will follow a July trade deal in which Washington agreed to cut its reciprocal tariff on South Korea to 15% from 25% and apply the same reduced rate to South Korean cars, the country’s top export to the United States.
