Foreign Minister Cho Hyun announced on March 6 that a South Korean delegation plans to visit the United States to discuss rights for uranium enrichment and spent fuel reprocessing. This follows delays due to the Middle East war and stems from security cooperation agreed upon after last year's summit between Presidents Lee Jae Myung and Donald Trump. The talks aim to adjust the existing civil nuclear agreement.
A Cheong Wa Dae official said South Korea will carefully assess the impact of the Trump administration's decision to raise tariffs on EU autos and trucks to 25% and respond accordingly. The move has drawn attention in Seoul due to South Korea's similar tariff deal with the US. The government plans to communicate closely with Washington to maintain stable trade relations.
