This gal found it amusing but she‘s not a pushover. Her alliance is clearly with Trump. That’s why Japan just pledged to invest 550 billion in the States. All Carney got was another understanding.

The first day of tariff talks between South Korea and the United States in Washington, following President Trump's recent threat to raise duties on Korean goods, ended without an agreement on January 29, 2026. Industry Minister Kim Jung-kwan and U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick agreed to reconvene the next day amid tensions over delays in implementing a bilateral trade deal.
Economy, Trade and Industry Minister Ryosei Akazawa departed Japan on March 6 for Washington to discuss second-round projects under a $550 billion (¥86 trillion) investment pledge with US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick. The talks address February tariffs from the Trump administration and prepare for Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's White House visit on March 19, with three projects already agreed and others pending.

U.S. President Donald Trump announced three projects in Ohio, Texas, and Georgia to be financed by Japan as part of its $550 billion investment pledge. Valued at $36 billion in total, the initiatives focus on energy and industrial sectors. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick stated that they will bolster America's energy supply and manufacturing capabilities.
Trade Minister Yeo Han-koo stated upon returning from a weeklong US trip on February 5, 2026, that South Korea will continue close consultations with the United States to avert a tariff hike threatened by President Donald Trump. The move follows Trump's surprise announcement to raise reciprocal tariffs and auto duties on Korea to 25 percent, citing delays in Seoul's legislative process for their bilateral trade deal. Yeo highlighted ongoing efforts to legislate a special bill and address non-tariff issues.
