The Ministry of Trade, Industry and Resources of South Korea has postponed a closed-door briefing to parliament on the country’s U.S. investment projects, offering no explanation for the delay. The session was meant to outline the first U.S. investment project under the bilateral agreement signed last year.
In October, Seoul and Washington agreed to a $350 billion investment package in exchange for a reduction in U.S. tariffs. The plan includes $150 billion allocated to shipbuilding cooperation and $200 billion for projects across several strategic sectors.
The ministry asked the trade and finance committees to defer the briefing and did not specify a reason. Observers said the postponement appears tied to unresolved issues in the final stages of talks with the United States.
The delay may affect plans to formalize the agreement early on Friday. A ministry official said discussions with the United States are ongoing.

Cloudflare has extended its 'block AI training' option to all customers, the company said in a blog post. The feature lets sites remain indexed by search engines while preventing their content from being used to train AI models, addressing the overlap between search crawling and AI training.
The company also introduced a 'responsible' crawler operator designation. To qualify, operators must offer an opt-out for training and AI summaries, disclose URL-level indexing status, and commit that opting out will not affect search rankings. Apple, Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Anthropic, Meta, and OpenAI were among the entities granted the designation.
Cloudflare noted that roughly 17% of sites have enabled some form of training-blocking mechanism, while fewer than 1% currently block search crawlers.
A Lido governance forum proposal would authorize a conditional market-making program on centralized exchanges to support LDO liquidity and reduce the risk of trading pairs becoming illiquid or delisted due to thin liquidity.
Under the plan, up to 1.5 million LDO could be recalled from the Lido DAO treasury, with a cap of 7.5 million LDO in total, along with as much as $480,000 in USDC to cover fixed service fees and related costs over a maximum duration of 12 months.
The authorization would lapse if unused within two years and would only take effect if the Lido Growth Committee determines that CEX liquidity is insufficient or at risk of falling short.
For context, LDO’s average daily trading volume over the last 90 days was about $34 million, down from roughly $43.8 million in the prior 90 days, and down from approximately $95.4 million in the same period in 2025.
The proposal emphasizes maintaining two-sided liquidity and keeping trading pairs listed, rather than supporting the token price, and it does not name any particular market maker or exchange.
