Trump Says US, South Korea Seal $350B Trade Deal
The Spin
Trump's South Korea visit delivered massive wins for American U.S. workers and energy dominance. The $350 billion in deals would create hundreds of thousands of U.S. jobs through Boeing aircraft purchases, shipyard investments and LNG agreements. These landmark partnerships cement America's technological leadership while strengthening critical supply chains.
Trump's South Korea trip is pure political theater masquerading as diplomacy. The supposed $350 billion deal remains completely stalled because Seoul knows such massive upfront payments would destabilize its economy. This visit serves Trump's China strategy and campaign optics rather than delivering real results for ordinary working Americans today.
