As Trump eyes more tariffs, South Korea remains safe haven for GM and Hyundai

The article discusses how, amidst former President Donald Trump's potential plans to impose more tariffs on imported vehicles, South Korea has become a strategic safe haven for automotive giants like General Motors (GM) and Hyundai. South Korea's free trade agreement with the U.S. allows these companies to export vehicles to the U.S. without the burden of high tariffs, which could be as much as 27.5% under Trump's proposed policies. This agreement has enabled GM to maintain a significant presence in South Korea, where it produces vehicles for both domestic and export markets, including the U.S. Similarly, Hyundai, which has its roots in South Korea, benefits from this trade deal, allowing it to export cars to the U.S. without facing the same tariff threats. The article highlights how this trade relationship provides a competitive edge to these manufacturers, potentially insulating them from the adverse effects of Trump's tariff proposals.
