Documents Claim U.S. Government Considered Using Tariffs to Get Defense Spending Increases from South Korea
It appears the Washington Post is trying to make a scandal out of something that is called negotiating:
Officials of U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration considered demanding that South Korea raise its defense spending to 3.8 percent of its gross domestic product (GDP) during tariff negotiations, a news report said Saturday, citing internal U.S. government documents.
U.S. officials also weighed the idea of requiring South Korea to publicly support operational flexibility of the U.S. Forces Korea (USFK) to better deter China, The Washington Post reported, though it is not clear whether their suggestions were actually discussed in the negotiations with South Korea that were concluded last month.
The documents indicated that the Trump’s administration might intend to use tariffs to help achieve a range of national security goals beyond its stated objective to reduce America’s trade deficits and boost domestic manufacturing, the newspaper noted.

Anything Trump does to help America or Americans is shìt upon by the anti-American media.
The headline isn’t, “Trump is a powerful negotiator unafraid to use all tools at his disposal to get the best deal for America’s success.”
The headlines condemn him for a winning attitude and skill.
But the real tragedy is so many Americans agree with the media instead of their own best interests.
Covid was the big eye opener. People will let big business and government medically and psychologically experiment on their children if the teevee tells them to. So it isn’t a surprise they can be convinced illegal aliens have a right to clog emergency rooms to have free babies while they have no affordable healthcare…
…and anybody who questions this is a racist fascist dictator (controlled by Russia).
Trusting the ComPost is the first mistake…
@setnaffa and the Setnaffarians won’t be saying that when they realize that Trump has destroyed the United States of America.
Of course considering their brainpower and poor education they won’t realize it until it’s too late.
All in all, at the end of the day, they will regret not voting for Kamala.
