Finance Minister Choi orders creation of team to explain Seoul's stance on U.S. foreign policies

The government will put together a task force to focus on the current Trump administration's tariffs as well as the listing of South Korea as a sensitive country by the former Biden administration.

Intentions to this end were shared on this Monday by Finance Minister Choi Sang-mok during the weekly roundtable on global economic matters at the government complex.

Highlighting the importance of staying vigilant on the trade front Choi also called for follow-up measures to recent talks between Trade Minister Ahn Duk-geun and U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright last week in Washington during which the two officials agreed to work together to "swiftly" settle South Korea's concerns over the sensitive country designation.
