rushed to Washington for trade
South Korea earned a record surplus of $55.6 billion from trade with the US in 2024, up 25% from 2023, led by rising car exports.

He invited South Korea to present a proposal to open its closed trading markets and eliminate tariff and non-tariff barriers. South Korea’s top trade envoy rushed to Washington for trade and defense talks as Asia’s fourth-largest economy raced to seek an exemption from Trump’s threatened tariffs. As negotiations with partner countries continue, the world waits to hear what would be Trump’s final position on the tariff war that he has unleashed with a large number of countries once the deadline expires. ดูหนัง2025
