Looks like Seoul managed to pull off a favorable trade negotiation with the US: annual cash investment capped at $20b for 10 years, automobile tariffs reduced to 15%, and continued protection for its rice and beef markets along with tariff rate for semiconductors comparable to that for Taiwan.

New survey data from @global-affairs.bsky.social: a majority of Americans (53%) now say the United States should undertake friendly cooperation and engagement with China, up from 40 percent in 2024. More in the full report: brnw.ch/21wX0bJ

What a simplified world this movie represents - a world in which the US has no security allies and partners that would have alerted about a launch and the WH skips consulting with allies in Indo-Pacific and Europe before retaliating. Oh wait, so it is a likely scenario given how things are going. 🥴

Those Hyundai-LG Ensol workers who were caught in that big ICE raid are back in Korea, and really, it’s amazing to hear what they’re saying. “I’m back! Freedom!” Hard to express what a nightmare this has been for opinion of America. m-en.yna.co.kr/view/AEN2025...
