U.S. President Donald Trump will meet South Korea's trade delegation, South Korea's presidential office said on Thursday, as top officials from Seoul are in Washington to cut a last-minute deal on U.S.

This deal would mean the duties will be lowered from the 25% that Trump had threatened in his "tariff letter" to Seoul earlier this month.

U.S. President Donald Trump announced Wednesday that the United States will impose a 15% tariff on South Korean goods in a deal made just ahead of an Aug. 1 deadline.
