 In this episode, we dive deep into the landmark trade negotiation between the United States and South Korea — as President Donald Trump wrapped up his Asia tour in the South Korean city of Gyeongju. Amidst golden gifts and pomp, South Korea’s President Lee Jae Myung presented Trump with the Grand Order of Mugunghwa and a Silla-era crown replica.
The deal under discussion? A massive $350 billion investment by South Korea into the U.S. economy, with $200 billion in cash over time and $150 billion directed at U.S. shipbuilding. In return, the U.S. is expected to reduce automobile and auto-parts tariffs on Korean exports from 25% to 15% — placing Korean makers such as Hyundai and Kia on a more equal footing with Japanese and European rivals.
But it’s not just about numbers — this episode explores the symbolism of the gifts, the red-carpet ceremony, and how diplomacy and spectacle deepen economic outcomes. We’ll also unpack the risks: the delayed agreement, currency concerns, and how a U.S. immigration raid at a Hyundai plant is casting shadows over future investment.
Whether you’re a trade-policy wonk, business insider or curious global citizen, join us for a revealing analysis of how pomp meets policy in a pivotal U.S.–Korea deal. Listen till the end for expert take-aways on what this means for international trade and investment flows.
