Moreover, South Korean exports to the United States "jumped nearly 28 percent thanks to the free trade agreement." This is very important because this leap offset a reduction in exports to China and the European Union, too key destinations for South Korean goods.
Overall, exports fell by 1.4 percent from a year earlier. Had the numbers not been so stellar with the United States, that number would have been considerably worse.
Exports reached $47.36 billion in March, while imports dropped to $45.03 billion, leaving a trade surplus.
Anyway, that rise in ROK exports to the United States makes it a tougher sell for the progressives to renegotiate or scrap the FTA altogether.
