16:21Now PlayingNext week, the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Summit will be underway. President Trump is expected to meet with South Korea President Lee Jae Myung and Chinese President Xi Jinping for separate bilateral talks that may shape trade relations for years to come. In the states, senior South Korean officials visited Washington today to resume trade negotiations to bridge their differences over Seoul's $350 billion investment pledge under a bilateral trade deal struck in July. For more on what's ahead at the APEC Summit, we heard from Kang Kyung-hwa, South Korean Ambassador to the United States. She spoke to Bloomberg's Joe Mathieu and Julie Fine on Balance of Power.
And - South Korea and the US are focusing on the structure of a $350 billion investment pledge by Seoul, rather than a currency swap, according to Finance Minister Koo Yun Cheol. Officials in Washington including Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent now see the potential for a shock to Seoul's foreign-exchange market from an "upfront" deployment of funds, Koo told Bloomberg TV in an interview on Wednesday that also touched on weakness in the Korean won stemming from the unfinished deal, car tariffs and AI technology. He spoke exclusively with Bloomberg's Shery Ahn about the progress of talks, on the sidelines of the APEC Finance Ministers' Meeting in Incheon, South Korea.
