Koreas Trade Minister Yeo Han-koo arrived in Washington on Sunday to tackle United States concerns about his countrys new rules on online platforms. According to Korea JoongAng Daily, Yeo met with Representative Darrell Issa, a Republican from California who has criticized these regulations, and joined a roundtable with groups like the Coalition of Services Industries, Computer and Communications Industry Association, and National Foreign Trade Council. The United States State Department raised significant concerns last week over a revision to Koreas Act on Promotion of Information and Communications Network Utilization and Information Protection, which targets false online information but critics say could harm American tech companies.

Yeo stressed the need to explain Koreas policy intentions clearly to clear up misunderstandings, as reported by the Korea Times. He plans more talks with United States lawmakers on Tuesday, and efforts are underway to set up a meeting with United States Trade Representative Jamieson Greer.

This comes amid broader trade discussions. Fidelity reports that Greer recently attended a meeting with G7 allies and others focused on reducing dependence in key supply chains. Representatives from the United States Export-Import Bank and JP Morgan also joined, though no joint statement emerged.

Greers role highlights ongoing efforts to address digital trade barriers and protect United States interests abroad. As Trade Representative, he continues to engage in high-level diplomacy on issues like platform regulations that affect global tech flows.
