Demand Fair and Equitable Trade: Oppose Unjust US Tariffs on South Korea and India

Target: US President, South Korean President, Indian Prime Minister, and relevant trade ministers
Goal: We call on the governments of South Korea, India, and the United States to renegotiate these trade deals to ensure fairness, mutual benefit, and respect for all workers and communities impacted by these tariffs.
The recently announced trade deal between South Korea and the United States is being hailed as a 'win-win' by officials, but the reality is far more complex. The agreement imposes a 15% tariff on South Korean exports to the US, while exempting American goods from similar tariffs. At the same time, the US has imposed a 50% tariff on Indian goods, citing India's continued imports of Russian oil. These punitive tariffs disproportionately harm workers, small businesses, and consumers in South Korea and India, while reinforcing the economic dominance of the United States.
Trade should be based on principles of fairness, mutual respect, and shared prosperity. Instead, these deals deepen global inequality, undermine local industries, and set a dangerous precedent for future trade relations. We urge all parties to return to the negotiating table and craft agreements that uplift all communities, protect workers’ rights, and address the urgent need for economic justice in a rapidly changing world.
Key Demands
- Renegotiate the US-South Korea trade deal to eliminate one-sided tariffs and ensure reciprocal, fair treatment for both countries.
- Reverse the 50% US tariffs on Indian goods and engage in good-faith negotiations that prioritize workers, small businesses, and sustainable development.
- Establish transparent, democratic processes for trade negotiations that include input from labor unions, civil society, and impacted communities.
- Implement strong protections for workers’ rights, environmental standards, and local industries in all future trade agreements.
- Reject the use of tariffs as a tool for political leverage and prioritize diplomacy and cooperation in global economic relations.
