Dangerous to clash with South Korea over trade amid North Korea crisis: WP
- 6 years ago
Perhaps putting the brakes on the Trump administration's drive to overhaul America's trade relations with South Korea,... Washington's Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross hints it's insulting to pick a trade fight with Seoul while North Korea is building up its nuclear arsenal.
In an editorial,... the Washington Post reported Ross's proposal says 'good relations with allies like Seoul and Tokyo are especially crucial to U.S.-led efforts' aimed at countering the regime's nuclear and missile ambitions.
Ross proposed cures are 'likely to be worse than any disease' as tariffs and quotas generally prove counterproductive.
The report comes shortly after the Trump administration released a new document on steel and aluminum imports,... calling for new tariffs and quotas to protect U.S. industry.
