The South Korean government has submitted a formal opinion to the Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR), stating that the grounds for additional tariffs proposed by the U.S. are insufficient.

The South Korean government pointed out that the U.S. conclusion that South Korea is importing products made with forced labor appears to lack actual evidence and sufficient analysis.

Previously, the USTR announced plans to impose additional tariffs of 10% or 12.5% on 60 economies, including South Korea, claiming that products manufactured through forced labor are being imported.
