KORUS Trade Deal – No Steel Tariffs For South Korea In Exchange for 50,000 Exports per U.S. Automaker…
2018-03-27
[ConservativeTreehouse] Perhaps as early as this week we should anticipate hearing about completion a significant trade agreement with South Korea. The deal is known as "KORUS" (KOR+U.S.), and has been in negotiations for over a year.

Part of the recent agreement within the auto-sector of the deal, between Moon Jae-in and President Donald Trump, via Lighthizer and Ross, is an exemption of U.S. steel tariffs for South Korea in exchange for a doubling of U.S. auto exports; from 25,000 to 50,000 American made cars, per U.S. automaker, per year.
Continues.

It's a serious start. Absolute numbers ~25,000, but it is a 100% increase.
