South Korea Submits Special Bill Aimed at Cutting US Car Levies

South Korea’s ruling party has proposed a special bill to implement the country’s $350 billion investment pledges to the US, paving the way for American tariffs on Korean automobiles to be lowered to 15% starting this month.

The submission of the bill — which outlines how the pledged investments will be executed — was a prerequisite for reducing the 25% levy on South Korean vehicles to 15%, South Korean officials have said.
