Trump says South Korea, Japan will pay billions 'upfront' in investment By Reuters

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

54% : Earlier this month, Trump formalised a trade deal with Japan, lowering tariffs on Japanese automobile imports and other products in return for $550 billion of Japanese investment in U.S. projects, and U.S. officials have pressed Seoul to follow suit.
42% : That's upfront," Trump told reporters on Thursday in the Oval Office as he touted the amount of money he said his sweeping tariffs have brought in. South Korea, however, says it cannot afford to structure its investments in the same way as Japan, and President Lee Jae Myung told Reuters last week that without safeguards such as a currency swap, South Korea's economy could be plunged into crisis.
