Korea seeks to keep $200b US investment rollout on track

South Korea and the US are seeking to resolve last-minute issues over a $200 billion Korean investment package, potentially complicating Seoul’s goal of unveiling the first projects by the end of this month, Industry Minister Kim Jung-kwan said Sunday. “We had been considering announcing the projects around late August or early September, but various concrete, working-level issues have emerged in the final stage,” Kim told reporters after arriving at Dulles International Airport near Washington.
