The Trump administration is rethinking American technological leadership by developing bilateral partnerships with allies like Korea. Each technology prosperity agreement offers excellent opportunities to accelerate scientific discovery and lead the world into a new era of innovation, driven by the US and our partners.
The agreement will be signed during Trump's tour of Asia, which includes Malaysia, Japan, and South Korea. The culmination of the trip will be a meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping at the APEC summit, where trade issues are planned to be agreed upon and US access to critical minerals expanded.
The agreement is also related to a trade dispute: the US and South Korea have still not agreed on a 15% tariff rate on Korean exports. A key element of the agreement is Seoul's $350 billion investment commitment.
