Trumpworld connections are fueling Coupang’s clash with South Korea

Coupang, a major South Korean online retailer, faces a trade dispute with South Korea over a data breach and alleged discriminatory regulations. U.S. officials and Republican lawmakers are supporting Coupang, citing unfair treatment of American companies, which has stalled a $350 billion trade agreement. Coupang's lobbying efforts in Washington, including ties to Trump-era figures, have intensified the political and trade tensions.
