By Jihoon Lee SEOUL (Reuters) -Talks between top South Korean and U.S. officials to negotiate over U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs have been postponed due to a scheduling conflict for U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent,

South Korea and the United States will continue negotiations to reach a tariff deal before the hefty reciprocal duties take effect on Aug. 1, with key issues, such as investment and agricultural market access,

South Korea is seeking trade concessions, including on tariffs and non-trade barriers, in return for accepting the U.S. request to recalibrate the USFK’s strategic posture.
