US-South Korea Trade Talks Postponed Amid Tariff Deadline

US-South Korea Trade Talks Postponed Amid Tariff Deadline

The United States and South Korea were supposed to have a big meeting about trade, but it got delayed.

This meeting was very important for South Korea because they wanted to avoid new taxes, called tariffs, on things they sell to America, like cars and electronics.

These tariffs could hurt big South Korean companies.

Even though the main meeting got postponed, the countries are still talking to try to make a deal that helps both sides, maybe by changing rules about farming or energy.

They are trying to figure this out before a deadline when the tariffs might start.
