Coupang dispute raises risk of U.S. tariff pressure on South Korea

A dispute involving Coupang is raising the possibility that U.S. pressure on South Korea could expand to additional tariffs. CNBC reported that U.S. congressional officials and people around Coupang see potential responses by Congress or the White House if the row drags on. The issue centers on South Korea’s response after a personal data leak case. U.S. politicians have urged a formal probe and tariff review, while both sides dispute the leak’s scale and related actions.
