In a recent statement, South Korea's Finance Minister Koo Yun-cheol revealed that the latest tariff discussions with the United States did not address foreign exchange topics. This comes amid ongoing economic dialogues between the two countries.

Despite the absence of currency talks in the tariff negotiations, a ministry spokesperson confirmed that consultations on exchange matters are being handled separately. These discussions involve the financial authorities from both nations, aiming to ensure a stable economic relationship.

As both countries navigate the complexities of international trade, the independent consultations highlight the importance of currency stability in maintaining bilateral economic ties.
