South Korea’s Top Envoy Meets Rubio as Trump’s New Tariff Looms

South Korea's Foreign Minister met with US Senator Marco Rubio to discuss the potential impact of a looming tariff hike by the Trump administration. The meeting comes as South Korea scrambles to avoid a proposed increase in US tariffs from 10% to 25% on certain goods. Lawmakers in Seoul are also preparing to review a special bill required to implement the funding pledged as part of the previous year's trade agreement between the two countries. The bilateral talks aim to find a resolution that would prevent the tariff hike and maintain the existing trade framework. Both sides are seeking to minimize the economic disruption and preserve the diplomatic ties between the US and South Korea.
