A group of U.S. businesspeople will reportedly visit South Korea this week to seek the swift ratification of the South Korea-U.S. free trade agreement.

Inside U.S. Trade said Friday that the U.S. Chamber of Commerce is leading the delegation to urge Korean government officials to reach a deal with the United States before next month's G20 meeting that will allow a pending free trade agreement to proceed to a congressional vote.

The delegation is expected to convey to Korean officials that congressional efforts to begin ratifying the trade accord could face difficulties early next year if Seoul and Washington fail to reach an agreement on the trade deal by the time the G20 summit opens in South Korea in November.
