Trump administration officials are set to push South Korea to buy more American cars and agricultural products even as tensions run high on the Korean peninsula.
The two governments will hold a second round of talks on Wednesday in Washington as part of U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer’s request to consider amending the U.S.-Korea Free Trade Agreement. The petition, formally made in July, allows for a joint committee to hold so-called “special sessions” to discuss the five-year-old pact, which is known as Korus.
