Trump Raised Tariffs on South Korea — Here’s the Real Reason. You Can’t Have U.S. Troops and Side With China.
President Trump just raised U.S. tariffs on South Korea from 15% to 25% — and this had nothing to do with trade paperwork.
This was a strategic warning.
In this video, I break down why South Korea crossed a red line by declaring “neutrality” between the United States and China, why U.S. protection is no longer free, and how Trump is rewriting the rules for American allies.
Using hard trade data, I show why South Korea’s economy actually depends more on the U.S. than China, how Beijing steals IP from Korean firms like Samsung while trying to replace them, and why China will never truly trust Seoul because of North Korea.
