Second round of S. Korea-U.S. technical tariff discussions kick off in Washington

South Korea and the U.S. have begun a new round of trade talks in Washington, aimed at resolving disputes over tariffs proposed by the Trump administration.

Starting Tuesday local time, Seoul's delegation, led by the trade ministry, and the U.S. Trade Representative will focus on six key issues, including balanced trade and non-tariff measures.

This is the second round of technical discussions, and likely the last before Korea's new government takes office next month following the presidential election.

Korea is pushing for lower tariffs, while the U.S. is expected to call for more imports and regulatory changes.
