S. Korean officials to travel to Washington for tariff talks on Tues.

A group of South Korean officials is set to travel to Washington, D.C. on Tuesday to hold working-level talks with the U.S. over tariffs.

The two sides are expected to hold discussions focused on six key areas, including economic security and digital trade.

This comes after Seoul's trade minister, Ahn Duk-geun, met with U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer here in South Korea last week, and requested exemptions from higher levies.

South Korea, which faces 25 percent U.S. reciprocal tariffs, is seeking a trade deal before the July 8th deadline, when the temporary pause on tariffs is lifted.
