Summary:

Korea is the U.S.'s seventh-largest trading partner, ahead of Western European countries such as France and Italy, and its sixth-largest export market. Increased economic interaction has been accompanied by disagreements over trade policies. Since the spring of 2000, however, the United States has intensified its pressure on bilateral trade issues, protesting that Seoul has been unresponsive to a host of longstanding U.S. complaints. As the U.S. economy has slowed and Korea's economic reforms have stalled, Congress became more vocal on bilateral trade issues, particularly on semiconductors and automobiles.
