SEOUL: In a move to contain trade frictions with the US, South Korea has dispatched Trade Minister Yeo Han-koo to Washington for a series of meetings following US President Donald Trump’s tariff warning, according to industry sources on Sunday (Feb 1).
Yeo landed in Washington early Friday and immediately began a tight schedule. By Saturday, he had met with Trump administration officials, lawmakers and key business figures. More meetings had been set for Sunday, underscoring Seoul’s diplomatic outreach.
