S. Korea trade minister says no agreement at talks with US on FTA

South Korea's trade minister said on Tuesday at the conclusion of trade talks with the US that the two sides failed to agree on how to move forward on discussions over the possibility of amending the five-year-old free trade deal.

"We have found the two sides have different views on the free trade agreement and have not reached any agreement," Minister Kim Hyun-chon said in a news conference.

Kim also said South Korea presented the argument that the US trade deficit with South Korea was not the result of the bilateral trade deal and proposed a joint study on the effects of the bilateral agreement.
