South Korean Industry Minister Kim Jung-kwan left for Washington on Sunday for talks on Seoul’s $350 billion U.S. investment package and mounting tariff disputes, returning to the U.S. about three weeks after his previous visit. The trip comes as Washington presses Seoul to move faster on investment commitments and pursues additional trade measures, including an investigation into industrial overcapacity that could lead to new tariffs.

Kim’s visit follows the abrupt removal of Trade Minister Yeo Han-koo, who was dismissed effective Saturdayafter overseeing tariff and non-tariff negotiations with Washington. The government has not disclosed the reason for Yeo’s dismissal or
