South Korea's industry and trade ministers plan to travel to the United States as early as possible to discuss cooperation, the government said in a statement.

Acting President Choi Sang-mok asked business leaders who will visit the United States this week to find opportunities to work with U.S. President Donald Trump's administration, the statement said.

Choi also said the private sector and the government needed to work as "one team" to respond to changing environments in trade amid a series of Trump's moves to impose tariffs on imports into the U.S., according to the statement.
