Bill > HR9876

This bill, the United States-Republic of Korea Digital Trade Enforcement Act, aims to address concerns about South Korea's trade policies that are viewed as discriminatory towards U.S. companies. The bill expresses the sense of Congress that the U.S. and South Korea have a strong economic and security partnership, but that South Korea's policies often make it difficult for U.S. companies to invest and expand in the country. The bill directs the U.S. Trade Representative to investigate any new South Korean laws or regulations that negatively impact U.S. digital or online platform operators, and to take enforcement actions through the World Trade Organization, Section 301 of the Trade Act, or the U.S.-Korea Free Trade Agreement if such policies are found to be discriminatory or unjustifiable.
