Sign InHyundai Motor President Sung Kim has warned that the Trump administration may escalate tariff pressure on the automotive sector despite recent legal setbacks. Kim urged South Korean lawmakers to swiftly approve a massive $350 billion U.S. investment package to safeguard bilateral trade relations. The existing trade agreement aims to lower U.S. tariffs on South Korean vehicles from 25% to 15%, a deal Hyundai is keen to protect. Analysts suggest that the threat of increased tariffs creates significant uncertainty for the automaker’s global margins and stock valuation. This potential escalation is also expected to influence the KRW/USD exchange rate given South Korea's heavy reliance on auto exports. Investors are closely monitoring these developments as they could impact the performance of the 005380.KS ticker in the near term.
