According to Yonhap News Agency, the meetings will focus on following-up actions on the creation of new dialogue channels.The two sides had agreed to establish a channel for jointly addressing supply chain issues and new technology challenges last month.
The table also includes tariffs for South Korea’s aluminium and steel exports.
After Washington lifted tariffs on European steel imports and aluminum from the United States in October, the Seoul government sought to negotiate with the US regarding the Section 232 tariff rules.
Jeong will also have discussions on the US’ plan to launch a new economic framework in the Indo-Pacific region and steel tariffs, according to the Ministry.
Washington has said that it is looking to form a fresh economic framework in the region, rather than joining the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP).
