Amended South Korea-U.S. FTA is 'wonderful deal': Trump
- 6 years ago
U.S. President Donald Trump has called the revised South Korea-U.S. free trade agreement,... a wonderful deal for both countries. Trump made the remarks on Thursday..... during a speech at the groundbreaking ceremony for a new Foxconn facility in Wisconsin.
Mr. Trump was referring to the amended FTA announced back in March…which gives American automakers greater access to the South Korean market.
The revised pact also gives Seoul an exemption from the Trump administration's 25-percent tariffs on steel imports.
Trump had criticized the original agreement that went into effect in 2012,... calling it a "terrible" deal that let South Korea take away jobs from Americans.
