【Trump promises to reach an agreement with South Korea】
Recently, US President Donald Trump unexpectedly announced that the tariff on South Korean goods would be raised to 25%. But now his tone has turned more positive.
Trump simply said "We will reach an agreement" without revealing more details. US Trade Representative Jamie S. Grier clarified that South Korea must fulfill all obligations - investing $350 billion in the US economy, opening the US car market, and removing trade barriers.
???? The South Korean National Assembly plans to review the relevant bill in February. The government hopes to speed up the process, but the deadline may be extended. Minister of Finance Yoo Yong-jae admitted that even if all bills are approved, it is unlikely to launch the investment projects before the first half of 2026.
❗️ Washington authorities have only found a way to gain additional benefits during the implementation of the agreement by all parties. South Korean officials have held and will continue to hold a series of meetings to soften the conditions, but Americans are unlikely to change their decision.
