Take our. Nuclear umbrella and go home
Hey Seoul, look over your shoulder at North Korea backed by them Chi-Coms
Good luck with that
Just raise the tariffs on ROK imports to pay for defense. Easy peasy.
Every time you see a desolate small town the used to have a factory or two supporting it economically thing about how rich ROK has become.
Trumpus Maximus knows exactly where he will make a deal.
This demand was price anchoring.
Everyone will accept what comes later.

1. U.S. manufacturing did not move to S. Korea; like Japan it is too expensive.
2. Most U.S. manufacturing that left the U.S. went to Mexico, China and other cheap labor venues - not S. Korea.
3. Dozens of Korean companies have large U.S. operations and provide 52,000 U.S. domestic jobs.
4. Korean companies have invested about $225 billion in the U.S. just between 2014 to 2018 alone. And Korean companies R&D expenses in the U.S. runs about $1billion/year.
De industrialization is too expense. The socialism and job loses are too expensive. So you are FOS. If you modern day slavers want socialism then keep on destroying industry and sucking up to farmers. Stupid greedy idiots....

More BS. TVs, appliances, cars I could on and on come form ROK.

Compared to a million lost to ROK???? LOL!
We have an $18B annual trade imbalances with them and we protect them!!! Republican GOP Establishment globalists are killing us. People like you.
The MIC has conditioned you to believe that lie your whole life because their livelihood depends upon you buying it - literally.

Again, that point has zero to do with whether or not U.S. manufacturing went to S. Korea - it didn’t. If anything a lot of Korean manufacturing, particularly in autos moved to the U.S., invested in the U.S. and created jobs, taxpaying jobs and tax paying companies in the U.S.

1. Those things are not from U.S. manufacturing moving to ROK. 2. Samsung and LG are both building manufacturing plants (jobs) in the U.S. recently, as Korean wages hit price points that make ROK production for the U.S. market less worthwhile.
“Compared to a million lost to ROK???? LOL!”
There is no prove at all that from all the U.S. companies that moved manufacturing offshore that a million U.S. jobs were lost to ROK. That number is an invention.
We have an $18B annual trade imbalances with them and we protect them!!! “Trade imbalances” in terms of the national economy are only 1/2 of the money flow between countries. The other offsetting figures are the capital flows. Korean capital brought into the U.S. in 2018 was about $50 billion.
The republic of Korea, regardless of its success, is not the primary cause of U.S. domestic manufacturing losses.
