Seoul’s top diplomat is set to meet his US counterpart in Washington this week, officials said Wednesday, with billions in deals and a possible Hormuz deployment on the agenda, AFP reports.
Foreign Minister Cho Hyun is due to depart on Thursday for a trip that will run until Saturday, and includes talks with Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Seoul’s foreign ministry said.
South Korea committed to $350 billion in US investments under a deal struck last year to avoid the worst of President Donald Trump’s tariffs, but specific projects and final terms were still being negotiated.
