According to Yonhap news agency, the 20-minute call took place on Thursday and was described by the presidential office as friendly and constructive.
“The two leaders agreed to work toward swiftly reaching a mutually satisfactory agreement,” the office said, referring to ongoing negotiations on tariffs. To that end, they agreed to encourage tangible outcomes in working-level talks.”
Lee and Trump discussed a range of bilateral issues, including the July 8 deadline to resolve tariff negotiations. In April, the Trump administration imposed 25 per cent tariffs on South Korean goods but granted a three-month suspension to allow time for talks.
Both sides agreed to arrange a face-to-face meeting at the earliest opportunity -- either on the sidelines of a multilateral forum or through an official bilateral visit -- for more in-depth discussions on strengthening the alliance.
Lee’s office described the call as “friendly and casual,” noting that it helped build rapport and trust between the two leaders while setting the stage for further dialogue on bilateral issues.
