SEOUL, July 18 (Korea Bizwire) — President Lee Jae Myung held meetings with Hyundai Motor Group Executive Chair Euisun Chung and LG Group Chairman Koo Kwang-mo and discussed business and trade issues, the presidential office said Friday.
Lee hosted a dinner meeting with Chung on Monday and another dinner with Koo on Tuesday, presidential spokesperson Kang Yu-jung told reporters.
During the meetings, Lee listened to the executives’ views on a range of topics, including investment in the United States, global trade dynamics, regional revitalization, research and development and future society vision, according to Kang.
The meetings came as U.S. President Donald Trump has said Washington would impose 25 percent tariffs on South Korean goods on Aug. 1, offering extra time for Seoul to negotiate a deal.
