South Korea is a trading nation, and is in favor of free trade. South Korea defaults to yes for trade deals. US is an ally, but if US is against free trade, South Korea will not go with US. Unlike US, international trade is of vital importance to South Korea.

Judging by the numbers I would say international trade is of vital importance to the US.

US trade to GDP ratio is <30%. For South Korea, it's >70%.

Doesn't the US have a free trade agreement with Korea?
