đš THIS ISNâT ABOUT SOUTH KOREA â ITâS ABOUT A NEW U.S. TRADE ORDER đ
Trumpâs move to raise tariffs on South Korean goods from 15% to 25% đșđžđ°đ· signals more than a bilateral dispute. South Korea now joins allies like Canada đšđŠ and parts of Europe đȘđș facing tariff pressure tied to political and economic alignment, not just trade balances. The message is clear: access to U.S. markets is no longer unconditional. Trade is becoming leverage đȘ, and tariffs are tools of strategic control rather than negotiation. This marks a shift from the post-WWII rules-based system to a power-driven model. Whether this reinforces U.S. dominance or accelerates fragmentation, markets should treat this as structural change â not short-term noise â ïžđȘ.
