đ¨ TRUMP THREATENS 25% TARIFF HIKE ON SOUTH KOREA
President Donald Trump warned the U.S. could raise tariffs on South Korean imports from 15% to 25% after Seoulâs legislature failed to ratify a trade agreement last year.$SOL
đ Whatâs driving this:
⢠Trade deal stalled in South Koreaâs parliament
⢠Trump signaling a tougher stance on allies over market access
⢠Tariffs framed as leverage to force renegotiation
â ď¸ Market implications:$DASH
⢠Pressure on Korean exporters (autos, electronics, semiconductors)
⢠Higher input costs for U.S. manufacturers relying on Korean supply chains
⢠Renewed trade-war risk premium in global markets
đ Bigger picture:
Tariffs are back as a core policy weapon.
Trade friction â supply chain stress â inflation volatility.
Macro reminder:$PUMP
Protectionism isnât just politics â itâs a liquidity and risk asset variable.
