The United States launched a probe last May into a car trade deficit with South Korea over concerns it posed a national security threat. US President Donald Trump threatened Seoul with 25 percent tariffs on all vehicles imported into the United States.
South Korea eventually agreed last year to revise a bilateral free trade deal to address US concerns over automotive imports. The agreement came into effect earlier this January.
