By John BurtonDonald Trump’s return to the White House means bad news for the Blue House. Take the economy. Trump is threatening to impose a 10 to 20 percent tariff on all foreign products imported into the United States, including those from Korea. But the potential economic damage on Korea wielded by Trump goes beyond that. During his first term, he nearly ripped up the Korea-U.S. Free Trade Agreement and he might do so in his upcoming term.
