After the Hyundai Raid: Will South Korea Rethink U.S. Investment? | Ep. 18

Jeff Schott, Senior Fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics, joins KEI President & CEO Scott Snyder to break down the challenges and opportunities in U.S.–Korea trade relations. We discuss how U.S. tariff policy under the Trump administration has reshaped Korea’s auto exports and the U.S. Korea free trade agreement (KORUS FTA), the fallout from the Hyundai raid in Georgia, and what it means for South Korean investment in the United States. Jeff also explores opportunities for deeper cooperation in shipbuilding and LNG, Korea’s balancing act between Washington and Beijing, and how Seoul is weighing the benefits of joining the CPTPP alongside partners in the Asia-Pacific and Europe. Finally, we look at what’s at stake for the future of U.S.–Korea economic ties and explain why durable, coordinated trade and investment policy is critical for both countries.
