Trump says he’s raising tariffs on South Korea because the country ‘is not living up’ to trade agreement

President Donald Trump announced on Monday he is raising tariffs on goods from South Korea to 25% from 15%.

“Because the Korean Legislature hasn’t enacted our Historic Trade Agreement, which is their prerogative, I am hereby increasing South Korean TARIFFS on Autos, Lumber, Pharma, and all other Reciprocal TARIFFS, from 15% to 25%,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post. It’s unclear if the change has already taken effect.

The White House did not immediately respond to CNN’s request for comment.

In a statement, South Korea’s Blue House said that there is “no official notice or explanation about the details” from the US government so far.

Following the announcement, South Korea’s trade minister, who is visiting Canada, will travel to the US to meet with Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick to discuss the matter, the Blue House said.
