Trump tariffs to raise Hyundai Motor's raw material cost: South Korea government official

SEOUL (Reuters) - South Korea's Hyundai Motor will pay higher raw material costs due to U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs on steel and aluminum, a senior South Korean government official said on Friday.

"Higher tariffs will increase costs of Hyundai and Kia, putting them at a disadvantage compared with their rivals in the United States," the senior trade ministry official told reporters in a background briefing, referring to Kia Motors .

The South Korean official said the tariffs would impact the renegotiation of the bilateral free trade deal with the United States that is currently underway.
