“South Korea will work to earn the best results from systematic and earnest negotiations with the US on new industry, trade and energy policies based on our experience of successfully responding to the US CHIPS Act and Inflation Reduction Act in the past," Ahn said in a press release, according to the news outlet.
They also discussed strengthening ties in shipbuilding and advanced industries. The U.S. remains a key trade partner for South Korea, which had a $66 billion trade surplus with Washington last year.
