South Korea has been one of America's greatest allies since its inception in 1948, and America has staunchly defended South Korea as one of our most pivotal partners in trade and through tribulations in Southeast Asia.

South Korea is a vital partner against the belligerent North Korea and Chinese Communist Party, yet the Korea Fair Trade Commission (KFTC) is unfairly attacking American businesses and even American workers.

There are unaddressed problems that negatively impact American businesses and workers, with Korean regulators regularly raiding American company offices, confiscating sensitive and protected proprietary materials.

This is a blatant attempt to intimidate American companies and employees.
