    It was literally written in the agreement that Korea is allowed to delay 20B/year payments if Korea’s currency is unstable.

    Korean Won was almost 1500 Won per 1USD.

    The US is breaking a written agreement.

    Good luck building your own damn frigates bro

  2. btw no other country’s national assembly has approved funds to pay Trump yet. If this is because of Coupang, they need to go. Time to end Coupang

    edit: apparently a couple countries did approve funds, but still looks like a Coupang issue imo

    Because of Coupang btw. Will Korea fold to U.S. pressure?

    How strong is the Coupang lobby?

  4. American here. Korea should end all investments into the US including the ships they promised. Also, close the US bases in South Korea. They do more harm than good to South Korean national security.

    Trump just made an update on what’s going on in Minnesota. He decided on what to mess with next.

  6. > South Korean TARIFFS on Autos, **Lumber**, Pharma, and all other

    Huh? Lumber? When did we start exporting lumber?
