USTR cites needs for agricultural tariff cuts in Korea
WASHINGTON, Jan. 23 (Yonhap) — U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) Rob Portman, calling for agricultural tariff cuts, cited South Korea as one of the markets where a reduction of duties would improve market access.
He said South Korean farmers’ protests are not expected to affect efforts to start negotiating a free trade agreement (FTA).
