U.S.-South Korea Trade Deal | The Capital Cable

Описание: This week, President Donald Trump announced 25 percent tariffs on all goods from South Korea, which are paused until August 1. Top South Korean officials were in Washington this week to continue trade negotiations with the Trump administration, including South Korean Trade Minister Yeo's proposal of a "manufacturing renaissance" and National Security Adviser Wi Sung-lac's offer of a "package deal" of economic and security considerations. What's at stake for both economies? What are the roadblocks and opportunities for the two sides?

Joining Mark Lippert and Victor Cha to unpack these questions and more are Philip Luck of CSIS and Wendy Cutler of Asia Society Policy Institute (ASPI).

Philip A. Luck is director of the CSIS Economics Program and Scholl Chair in International Business. He served in the Biden-Harris administration as the deputy chief economist at the U.S. Department of State. Dr. Luck is an expert on the economics of international trade, global supply chains, and international migration policy. At the Department of State, Dr. Luck led analytical efforts to combat sanctions and export control evasion, increase global supply chain resilience, combat economic coercion, as well as improve migration policy design and implementation. Prior to joining the U.S. Department of State, Philip was an assistant professor of economics at the University of Colorado, Denver.

Wendy Cutler is Vice President at the Asia Society Policy Institute (ASPI) and the managing director of the Washington, D.C. office. In these roles, she focuses on building ASPI’s presence in the nation's capital and on leading initiatives that address challenges related to trade, investment, and innovation, as well as women’s empowerment in Asia. She joined ASPI following an illustrious career of nearly three decades as a diplomat and negotiator in the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR), where she also served as Acting Deputy U.S. Trade Representative. During her USTR career, she worked on a range of bilateral, regional, and multilateral trade negotiations and initiatives, including the U.S.-Korea Free Trade Agreement, the Trans-Pacific Partnership, U.S.-China negotiations, and the WTO Financial Services negotiations. She has published a series of ASPI papers on the Asian trade landscape and serves as a regular media commentator on trade and investment developments in Asia and the world.
