1st U.S. investment project under tariff agreement nears deal but needs further negotiations: minister

South Korean Industry Minister Kim Jung-kwan announced on Sunday, September 13, that the first U.S. investment project under a bilateral tariff agreement is nearing a final deal. However, the minister noted that the initiative still requires further negotiations before it can be fully concluded.

The project represents a significant milestone in implementing the tariff agreement between the United States and South Korea. While the framework of the agreement has paved the way for joint economic endeavors, specific details of this inaugural investment are still being ironed out by officials from both nations.
