Despite having a Free Trade 
Agreement (FTA) with the United States, 
Korea is subject to a higher tariff of 
26% compared to Japan. Why is that so?

Korea will be subject to a higher 
tariff rate of 26% compared to Japan!

The non-monetary trade restrictions 
imposed by South Korea are the worst!

Korea manipulates the exchange
rate, supports exports with subsidies, 
 and steals our intellectual property!

Non-Tariff Barriers in Korea


1. American car companies can't do 
this in Korea, 2. American bio 
companies can't do that 
in Korea...etc.

The United States has identified South Korea's 
complex certification procedures and regulations 
as 'non-tariff barriers'. Due to Korea's regulations, it is 
difficult for American cars to enter the 
Korean market, and the trade deficit is deepening.

513%? Imposing such a high tariff on rice... why on earth?

The United States announces a 513% 
tariff rate on rice imports.

Mr. President, Korea is increasing
its export competitiveness by suppressing 
domestic consumption, aiding 
environmental pollution, and implementing
policies to suppress workers' wages. 
These policies are creating an unfair 
trade relationship with the United States.

U.S. President's Economic Advisor

(Should we slap a tariff on rice?.....)

The United States will no longer be swayed
by unfair trade! 
 We demand fair competition, and we 
will protect the interests of the United States!

The result....
