Here are some of the key issues that may be discussed during the South Korea-U.S. trade talks. South Korea faces looming reciprocal tariffs, which Trump set at 25%, as well as item-specific tariffs on products such as steel, autos and semiconductors.

South Korea's Industry Minister Ahn Duk-geun said on Saturday that Seoul plans to approach trade talks with the United States "calmly and cautiously."

The US and South Korea could reach an “agreement of understanding” on trade as soon as next week, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Thursday, following talks between the two nations.
