Focus on discussions including U.S. investment projects and Iran war
President Lee Jae-myung is scheduled to receive a visit from U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Besant on the 13th, Kang Yu-jung, Senior Spokesperson for the Blue House, announced on the 12th.
This meeting will take place one day before the scheduled U.S.-China summit on the 14th, and President Lee and Secretary Besant are expected to discuss the international situation broadly.
In particular, with expectations that issues such as tariffs and global supply chain stability will be discussed at the U.S.-China summit, it is also observed that President Lee will exchange opinions on these matters.
Secretary Besant is also accelerating preparations for the U.S.-China summit, including holding high-level trade negotiations with Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng in Seoul on the 13th.
During the meeting between President Lee and Secretary Besant, discussions are also expected on current issues between Korea and the U.S.
Firstly, with attention focused on U.S. investment projects as follow-up measures to tariff negotiations, there is interest in whether specific business details will be mentioned.
Furthermore, with increasing uncertainty in the Middle East due to the Iran war and the 'Namooho attack incident,' there is also interest in whether efforts for free navigation in the Strait of Hormuz will be included in the discussions.
