Free-trade deal between South Korea and U.S. at risk over auto tariffs: WSJ

2018-08-08 3

South Korea's National Assembly is threatening to block its revised free-trade agreement with the U.S. unless South Korean cars win an exemption from proposed American tariffs.
The move could put at risk the only free-trade deal the Trump administration has successfully renegotiated.
According to a report by the Wall Street Journal on Tuesday,.. South Korean lawmakers are threatening not to ratify the revised FTA struck back in March,... which the two sides have agreed in principle.
The Wall Street Journal says the deal could be in jeopardy unless an auto exemption is guaranteed.
