In a significant development, South Korea's National Assembly has announced the formation of a special committee tasked with managing legislation for investments in the United States, as per a key trade agreement between the two nations. The announcement was made public by News 1 on Wednesday.

This move follows a recent warning from U.S. President Donald Trump, who threatened to impose higher tariffs on South Korean imports. The warning came after perceived delays in implementing a trade agreement under which South Korea promised to invest a substantial $350 billion in the United States.

The establishment of such a committee signifies South Korea's commitment to upholding its end of the trade bargain and emphasizes the importance of maintaining strong economic ties with the United States amidst growing international trade tensions.
