Republican Senator Bernie Moreno of Ohio has urged the Office of the United States Trade Representative to consider tariffs on South Korea over its treatment of Coupang, a U.S. e-commerce company. In a letter, Moreno said Seoul had taken hostile action toward foreign businesses, pointing to heavy compliance requirements and what he described as biased regulatory enforcement. He also called for an investigation under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974. South Korea, for its part, denied that it treats Coupang differently from domestic companies. The dispute centers on whether Korean regulators and policymakers have imposed unequal conditions on a foreign-linked platform operating in the country. Moreno’s request puts the issue before U.S. trade officials and frames it as a possible trade enforcement matter rather than a narrow corporate dispute.
