US Sets Korea Tariff Rate at 15% in Deal With Key Supplier

Washington just dropped a 15% hammer on Korean imports—locking in rates with a key Asian supplier. Here’s the fallout.

Trade winds shift—hard

The Biden admin’s move tightens screws on supply chains already creaking under inflation. Korea’s export machine now faces a steeper climb into US markets.

Who blinks first?

Seoul’s tech-heavy economy eats tariffs for breakfast—but 15% bites. Watch for retaliatory moves or quiet lobbying to soften the blow (classic trade-war tango).

Meanwhile, Wall Street shrugs—another cost to pass along to consumers already numb to price hikes. Because nothing says 'economic diplomacy' like padding corporate margins.
